Conjoined Structures (critique date 10/5)

Conjoined Structures

Construct two interdependent structures, neither of which can stand without the support of the other. Consider them drawings in space. Together they should occupy approximately the same volume as your body. Get to know all of the tools in the wood shop, be precise with your angles and joints, create two individual volumes with contrasting formal characteristics (line, shape, texture). 

  

You will have to purchase wood for your project. Visit Shell Lumber on SW 27th Ave & US1, they have a large selection of different kinds of wood. Come to class with all of your materials on the 21st. 

Artists who work primarily with wood:

Sculpture Tech's Shop Hours

Dacil, the tech in the sculpture area, is there nights a week from 4:30pm-12:30am. She either works Monday, Tuesday and Thursday or Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday. She posts her hours on the door 2 weeks in advance (usually on Thursday nights) so stay up to date.

Students who arrive after 10 PM will not be allowed in the building, according to MDC rules. If you arrive earlier, you may stay until Dacil's shift is over. She is an excellent fabricator. If you aren't sure which tool is right for the job or you need advice on how to make something just ask her. And please remember, 3D work takes a LOT OF TIME. Go to the studio early in her shift so you don't have to leave before you accomplished what you want, especially before critiques. She is there a total of 24 hours per week, take advantage of that studio time to do your work---don't wait until the last minute.

Here is her schedule for the next two weeks.


Tuesday 6th & Thursday 8th of September 4:30-12:30 pm

Monday 12th, Wednesday 14th, Thursday 15th of Septmeber 4:30-12:30
