Andrew Domeier's pedestal and final project

For my pedestal project I decided that I wanted to work with metal. After discussing possible options with Alexa, I decided to model my composition after Piet Mondrion's composition with red, yellow, and blue. this was achieved by making the outer frame and bisecting it with other bars, making more squares and rectangles, all either being 1/2 or 1/3 of the square or rectangle that it is bisecting.

 For the final revision I decided to continue with what I was working on and wire brushed the entire sculpture giving it a raw steel finish. I then set up the sculpture on two wide pedestals and projected its shadow on a nearby wall. To me this project is still not in its final state and I will continue with it until I feel it is completed.

Duct tape and all!  Only one crack in the final re-cast of my canoe paddle. 

Laura B's LLM Response

After spending multiple mornings trying to get myself out of a cozy bed using personal pep talks to arise and greet the cold, dark day, I wondered about what got people out of their bed to start the day.  What follows are a selection of the responses I received.  Seems as though, there are many ways to motivate in the morning.

Phil Geving's Pedestal

My pedestal is built to recognize the museum's power in contemporary art, in some ways how the institution of the museum has become more important to some people than the art itself.  To represent this, I fashioned this conical stand to display miniscule pieces of art.  At four feet tall, its display area is about one-half inch wide, and the viewer can use the affixed magnifier to aid in their appreciation of what art the pedestal can display.

















After considering the relation of art to the museum, I thought about how this representation of the museum could behave and interact with other objects and locations, sometimes to humorous effect.
