This piece builds off “crazy fucking good” and explores the idea of light. I hadthis idea before I thought it was plausibile. I didn’t know how I would rigthe light blubs so that they would light up. However, Amazon prevailed onceagain. These eight bulb sockets connect to a horizontal piece of wood to holdall of the light builds at the same height.Similar to other pieces, the process of creating is just as important in emulatingthe emotion than the final product is. In this piece, it is not just theprocess of creating but also the process of turning the light bulbs on and off.When off, the light bulbs look dull and bland. In a moment, the explode andassert themselves into your vision. You suddenly feel and see the light everywhere.21dev elopment.

Ecstasy.
This piece was a second try at my experimentation during the first semester of thesis. After mid
year critiques, the black foam of the letters ripped apart because of the weight of the christmas
lights. Instead of black foam board, I created the letter forms out of wood using a laser cutter.
After drilling the holes, I connected the letters vertically with fishing line so that the weight was
being placed on the fishing line instead of the letters themselves. These small changes made the
world of a difference and this piece is now one of the stronger, transportable pieces.
An important aspect of this piece was the photography. I wanted to get a legible shot of the
phrase itself but I was also interested in seeing how the photos can embody the emotion themselves.
The second photo was a happy, unfocused, accident that proves how the photography can
govern the emotion as well.
I really struggled with this piece. The first two pieces for ecstasy
came easliy, it was my ability to explore the idea of light communicating
an emotion. But for the last piece I wanted to create
something that touched upon other aspects of ecstasy.
These letter boxes are created using red plastic folders and hung
with fishing line from a piece of word to embody floating in a void.
The letter themselves attempt to contain that little void that is
ecstasy.
These letter forms are very succesful in person, you can physically
see the light and air more in and around the letters and the planes
of the boxes interacting. However, photographing the letters was
quite difficult. The photo shows experimenting with putting my
hand slightly over the flash to create small bursts of light around
the composition. These pockets of light are uncontrolable and
create that same void that ecstasy hopes to emulate.
