The Perish Review

Things I made this fall.

The moment before my mid-year thesis critique.






The three pieces I showed.


A concrete-lined fire-insulated oriented-strand-board lockbox.



A sculpture/book I built based on the 1929 short story "The Specialist" by Chic Sale.

A cinderblock glazed with epoxy and filled with party balloons. I was trying to make the concrete feel like a ceramic. The rocky stuff around the rim is part of the studio floor that the epoxy binded to and tore off when I pried the two apart.

A collection of some smaller material experiments.

A concrete, plywood, PVC, spray foam, and epoxy flower vase.

Spray foam, aluminum foil, chicken wire.

My archaeology department senior capstone, a research-based exhibit about amate paper and indigenous Mexican papermaking practices. Accompanying a research paper, I made my own bark paper out of a white mulberry tree that I scalped in a wooded area on a local community college campus, and my own stone tools that I carved with a Dremel out of some rocks I found outside the Exley Science Center.

Stay safe!
