First year work

Today we all had to set up our work for the little show in the sculpture court for tomorrow. As i expected, some work is fucking cool, the majority is shit, and some are just plain grim. I walked around it with my good pal john, we are both safe in the knowledge we have done the most minimal (and probably most annoying) pieces. but its always good to bitch at and about so here are some notable mentions that i figured are worth some attention.

pig heed

First up is what looks like a dress made out of bacon with a pigs head on. this smells sooo bad right now, but is a fucking pigs head on a fucking manikin!!! dope.

some blocks

some blocks, but the mirror makes it for sure.

floating head

i hope to god this is intentionally placed above this headless sculpture and not just there because it was the only free space. IF not, its wank. fact.

bambi

shamlessly ripping off jeff koons? always kool.

penguin

a 7 foot tall penguin being humped. amazing.

raaad

im not normally impressed by technical drawing skill, this seriously blew me away though.

gross

i know what you are thinking, but right a girl painted these with blood.. she has only managed to do two in a month, i'll leave the rest to you to figure out. seriously grim for sure.

eggs

being a student and a vegetarian eggs are my diet and the greatest invention of all time, thus this is amazing, if not only for the chance of one of them falling and smashing all over some toffs foot.

no idea

no idea what this is about, or if it is finished, but you have to say, that chest of draws is fucking lovely.

bamboo cage

this is a bamboo cage with mirrors on each side, for some one as good looking as me, this is heaven.

bukakke

personally i was stoked on these models before they were covered in hair, but now it looks like there was a bestiality bukkake party, and that image is way too funny not to love.

box

seriously lovely box, i wanted my work next to this so the minimalism would rebound off one another buutttt i had to find a plinth for that, and plinths are heavy soo...

buffalo bike

half bike, half bison/buffalo. shit that is half something and half something else is definitely worht the time of day.

frogs

this line of frogs was made by a french girl, amazingly when asked "why frogs?" her answer is "because im french" truely great.

bru

this isn't actually some ones piece, but fuck i wish it was. orange squash in an iron brew bottle is so telling of our society and cultural activity... cough.

tree

not normally into this shit either, but the branch is lovely, solid choice of stick, and the bird nest in it looks pretty solid too.

disk

this is my piece, a fucking CD in a case. if you get thoughts about menagerie and captivity well good for you and im happy, however it prompts thoughts of "seriously, what the fuck am i doing with my life" to me. depressing.

humping

My favorite piece by a mile. Im immature and secretly 5. the fact that dogs don't even reproduce this way and are only doing it for fun makes it even ruder and more immature and makes me laugh any time i did it. I hope i find out who did this piece so i can buy them a high 5 or something.

anyway, i hope you skimmed and looked at the pictures. i feel like i can't be too much of a dick on here about other peoples work, so next post will go back to being self deprecating yet extremely self indulgent.
