Their most recent gift, of $6 million, will provide the University with a state-of-the-art foundry facility that will create exciting new opportunities for art and engineering students, while also providing the campus with a new energy-efficient heating system.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 2.375rem; padding: 0px;">Alfred University President Mark Zupan announced the Cohens’ gift, which establishes the Michele and Martin Cohen Capital Fund in support of Alfred University’s foundry/distributed boiler project.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 2.375rem; padding: 0px;">“We are so inspired by and grateful for all the magic that Michele and Marty Cohen are setting in motion through their generous philanthropic commitment to the foundry/distributed boiler project for so many future generations of Alfred University students, faculty, and staff,” Zupan commented.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 2.375rem; padding: 0px;">The project will renovate the existing heating plant—currently located in a building behind the Carnegie Hall parking lot—to house a state-of-the-art foundry, and will replace the University’s current central steam heating plant with an energy-efficient distributed boiler system, thereby creating significant savings in our utilities and maintenance costs while reducing our greenhouse gas emissions. The overall project also will create upgraded space to house displaced facilities team members who now work out of the existing central heating plant.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 2.375rem; padding: 0px;">Michele Cohen, who has served on the University’s Board of Trustees since 2001, is retired from Cohen and Steers Capital Management in New York City and currently serves as chair of the Board of Trustees at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York City. Alfred University awarded her an honorary degree in 2018. Martin Cohen, who co-founded Cohen and Steers in 1986, is the company’s chair. The Cohens’ son, Adam, is a 2003 alumnus of the Alfred University School of Art and Design.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 2.375rem; padding: 0px;">The Cohens’ previous philanthropy has endowed the deanship of the University’s School of Art and Design and Division of Performing Arts, established the Cohen Center for the Arts and Cohen Gallery, and launched APEX, our applied experiential learning program.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 2.375rem; padding: 0px;">The Cohens established the capital fund after the project was identified as something “that would be transformative for the University,” Michele Cohen explained. “We had been considering a gift to Alfred and when this project was described, it became clear that it was something we could support. There are multiple ways it will help the University and the student experience.”</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 2.375rem; padding: 0px;">The new foundry will be home to our University’s National Casting Center, Advanced Digital Fabrication Lab, and Additive and Advanced Manufacturing Center. The student-focused collaborative space will provide melting facilities, classroom space, and other experiential learning opportunities. It will be utilized by the School of Art and Design’s Division of Sculpture/Dimensional Studies for its glass and metal casting programs, and by the Inamori School of Engineering for the materials science and mechanical engineering programs.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 2.375rem; padding: 0px;">The facility—which creates the potential for new degree programs in combined art and engineering, such as digital fabrication design and engineering—will significantly benefit Alfred University’s student recruitment and retention efforts.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 2.375rem; padding: 0px;">“The possibilities of what can be accomplished in this new building are endless. I have always wanted to see more collaboration between the many departments, giving students the opportunity to use different parts of their brains and to explore classes that they might not otherwise had considered. This will help to maintain and amplify the excellent reputations of both of these top-rated schools,” Michele Cohen commented. “Giving students more creative, wide reaching opportunities will keep them engaged, excited, and challenged.”</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 2.375rem; padding: 0px;">Lauren Lake, Michele and Martin Cohen Endowed Dean of the School of Art and Design and Division of Performing Arts, agreed that the foundry will attract a diverse population of students, while also shining a spotlight in the sculpture program.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 2.375rem; padding: 0px;">“The foundry is a collision space for the creation of new knowledge, research and teaching—a co-laboratory for students studying art, engineering, and more. The facilities will attract undergraduate students, transfer students and graduate students to our programs while providing community bridges across disciplines at Alfred and connections with the greater foundry communities across the country,” Lake said.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 2.375rem; padding: 0px;">Gabrielle Gaustad, dean of the Inamori School of Engineering, agreed. “Engineering and Art and Design already collaborate in a variety of ways, she said, pointing to shared courses like the GlassArtEngine, in which engineers and artists work together on glass related projects, and shared facilities like our Digital Fabrication Lab. “This will open additional opportunities for those interactions – both curricular and extracurricular.” </p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 2.375rem; padding: 0px;">“Having this new facility on campus will open a large variety of opportunities for our engineering students,” Gaustad added. Among those opportunities: creation of metallurgy labs, in which materials science and mechanical engineering students learn about processing, smelting and casting; expansion of digital fabrication and 3-D printing capabilities; and enhancements to extracurricular offerings, like the student forging and blacksmithing club.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 2.375rem; padding: 0px;">Coral Lambert, professor of Sculpture/Dimensional Studies in the School of Art and Design and director of National Casting Center Foundry, is excited about what the foundry project will mean to the growth of the Sculpture/Dimensional Studies Program.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 2.375rem; padding: 0px;">“Being able to offer courses in a brand new facility located directly on campus holds tremendous opportunities for the Division of Sculpture, the School of Art and Design, and the University in general,” Lambert commented. “Due to proximity, educational collaborations can be more easily implemented by integrating course content with art history, engineering, environmental and global studies, among others.”</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 2.375rem; padding: 0px;">Lambert said the foundry facility’s centralized on-campus location will better serve existing students and be beneficial as a recruiting tool.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 2.375rem; padding: 0px;">“The major difference for the new facility is its location, which is something I fervently advocated for because it will raise the visibility of the National Casting Center Foundry and will increase student involvement,” Lambert said. She noted that the facility’s split-level design—which includes a catwalk that will allow for foundry pours to be viewed safely from above—will make the facility more accommodating for student visits and public tours.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 2.375rem; padding: 0px;">New York State has approved $1.2 million from the SUNY Construction Fund for the foundry project’s design phase, set to begin in January. Construction of the new foundry will be completed by the fall of 2022 or spring of 2023. Construction of the new distributed boiler system will begin in January, with completion scheduled for the fall of 2021.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 2.375rem; padding: 0px;">“We are truly grateful for Michele and Martin Cohen’s gift. They understand the important role that transdisciplinary and exceptional facilities contribute to support thoughtful, innovative and expansive research,” Lake said. “Our learning community is dedicated to building a shared base of knowledge that supports each student's individual development and prepares them to be active creative members of the world and their support allows this to happen.”</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 2.375rem; padding: 0px;">The Cohens made their $6 million commitment to the foundry/boiler project in honor of 1954 Alfred University graduate Marlin Miller (honorary degree recipient in 1989 and 2019), Michele Cohen’s colleague on the University’s Board of Trustees. Miller, a former Board chair, is a noted businessperson and philanthropist, and Alfred University’s most generous donor. Projects funded by his gifts include the Miller Performing Arts Center, Miller Theater, Alfred Ceramic Art Museum, renovations of our Tefft and Openhym residence halls, construction of the Link between Tefft and Moskowitz halls, and a repaving project on campus which will create new bicycle and pedestrian paths as well as nearly 100 new parking spaces. Marlin’s philanthropy also supports numerous student scholarships and endowed faculty/staff positions.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 2.375rem; padding: 0px;">“We both want to recognize a hero of ours. There is no one we know who has taught us more about generosity and philanthropy,” Michele Cohen said of Miller. “Marlin has an elegant and gracious way of seeing a need and addressing it directly, providing our students the opportunity to be their best. There are few people who make such an everlasting impression on the lives of so many.”</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 2.375rem; padding: 0px;">With the Cohens’ commitment, Alfred University has generated $102.3 million as part of the quiet phase of the fundraising campaign that began in July 2016. At some point over the next year or two, the University will publicly announce a target of at least a $200 million for the campaign, toward advancing Alfred University’s mission, vision, and values.</p></div></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8295300571963453946.post-34719956716152974462020-05-15T16:40:00.000-04:002020-05-15T17:19:49.417-04:00'Furnace Dreams' During Covid19<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<span style="font-size: large;">One of the online assignments for Junior Foundry during Covid 19 was to Design a Dream Furnace. To start with we looked at historic furnaces from Ancient African Iron Smelters which are often personified to Abraham Darby's coke furnace in Ironbridge that addressed the fuel shortages of wood at the time of the Industrial Revolution. A furnace that melts metal can be a purely functional apparatus but it is also a magical apparatus of transformation, in early times it is where ritual and ceremony took place in order for a successful material transformation to be undertaken. In contemporary metal casting practices this still holds some resonance with many people and forces coming together for a pour bringing their energy and focus towards melting the metal. In some cases the furnace and the pour intentionally become a performance, on most occasions it is a well coordinated dance of sweat and logistics. Students were asked to consider type of material to be melted, fuel used, crew needed, site and occasion. </span></div>

the furnace is a safety proven modified trash can, insulated with refractory
material and a temperature gauge to ensure the easy and accurate firing of
various metals and pottery to its appropriate temps. It features a design that
can handle both a crucible for the melting of metals or a platform for firing
clay bodies. The furnace is equipped with a modified lid on which spikes are
attached for the roasting of foods wrapped in foil. The lid will be minimally
insulated for the purpose of utilizing the excess heat in order to cook the
foods. </span></span></div>

The teapot is the chamber that protects the furnace and is mostly there for show. When you open up the top of the teapot (the flame topper) you will see the furnace and you can grab your crucible to pour your metal. This furnace will melt aluminum only and will run on propane and the metal will be melted within a crucible made out of carbide graphite. The furnace goes up to 1250 degrees fahrenheit because that is the melting temperature for aluminum. The exterior is made of steel with 1” of fibrefrax ceramic wool to insulate the furnace as well as ceramic wool located on the cover of the furnace(not pictured). The bottom is made out of refractory cement and also has fire bricks. You will use the gas hose, propane and gas pressure regulator to heat the furnace safety! After we melt the hot metal into the crucible and pour it into our molds, we will all gather together and have a tea party!</div>

My furnace is named Travelling Communities, it is designed so that it can be taken apart into four pieces and reassembled on site. It’s an iron furnace. Originally it was created for bronze, but I realized that I want this furnace to be able to travel to communities that experienced hardship, and iron is more readily available. This is both a production and performance furnace. I would want to bring this bright furnace to areas that recently went through natural disasters, and invite locals to participate in an iron pour where they can:-</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
1. Make something functional</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
2. Make something sentimental</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
3. Throw in personal debris to charge the furnace.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
It would therefore run on coke, limestone, iron, and whatever the locals wanted to through in (as long as it’s safe to burn eg. papers, wood, leaves…). Ideally, Travelling Communities would need four to five experienced metal workers, and the locals would fill in the rest. The more people that participate, the easier the work.</div>

Birnace works like a Darby Furnace, and is positioned at the side of cliff for access to charging him via his beak. Birnace is thirteen-foot-tall furnace with a double-conical designed keeping heat in making him more fuel efficient. He is equipped with a “poop-shoot” to let out the molten metal into egg shape molds and used exclusively for melting copious amounts of gold.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #2d3b45; font-family: Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 12px;">
Birnace exists in an alternate universe where there is a sole owner of all the gold in their world, due to the fact that he is a super-being and all the normal humans are allergic to gold. The super-being protects the other beings with technology advancements brought to them from the super-being’s home world, E-Ar-Th. Birnace may be made of metal but he does have a life of his own. He rests by the super-being’s side in a large nest. The normal-beings worship the super-being and Birnace for their abilities by bring them charges of gold and fuel throughout the day, careful to not touch any of gold that covers most of the plant.</div>

I made it look like the blasters from Iron man’s suit as I found the idea quite comical and gave it a spin based on my own imaginative design work.</span></span></span><br />

He is one of the ‘failed’ experiments the United States military created trying to clone an even bigger, more terrifying wonder of the world. Oney is considered a monstrosity by the states only by their own mistake, as they extracted the DNA from the beast as it was turning back to a human. While his appearance is atrocious, is he not as much of a human being as the rest of us? Or should he live as the monster we brand him as?</span></span></div>

can explore and add samples, images, or notes to the archive as one discovers new
things on the trail. The inner circle invites comfortable lounging for the user to
sit and contemplate the space around them. Giving a feeling of playful exploration
this museum is intended to allow one to explore the world with the eyes of a child.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">"Out of my Depth" is representative of my feelings toward a double
major in Art and Engineering during my third year in college. There was a great deal
of balance necessary. I felt as though I had no direction (no
rudder), and despite obviously being on a path somewhere, I
wasn’t actually going anywhere. I couldn’t tell if my educational
bedrock (of engineering textbooks) was supporting me or if I
had run aground upon it. But it came to feel as though only I
could see the ocean upon which I was trying to navigate. </span></div>

as a piece of AstroTurf upon which acorns are “planted”
and “watered”. It is then placed vertically to reveal that
it resembles the outline of a tree cut in half. The piece is
“opened” revealing that it is in fact a paper honeycomb
tree. An ax is presented and it “cuts down” the tree. The
vertical piece is closed and reopened 180 degrees to the
other side creating a small domicile to which a front
door and welcome mat are added. </span></div>

community of the foundry.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">By working with contrasting natural and artificial materials, it allows me to incorporate my
passions, process of art making and nature together. I appreciate the process of art making. I value the experience in the
making of art, and I believe it's just as prominent as the completed work. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large; text-indent: 0.5in;">Make-believe was the
most defining part of my childhood. There is a freedom the children experience
when they get to envision their own fictional world. It is a freedom adults
find much harder to find in a world where individuals have such little control
over the greater details of life. I carry the stories and ideas created by my
brother and I into my artwork as a source of inspiration. My work over the last
two years has been building up to a show in which I attempt to capture some of
the magic of my childhood fantasy world.</span></div>

this show was intended to be a large 3D game board table. Play is a very
important concept in my art. It's only fitting to have actual games as part of
my show. I wanted playing this game to be a very tactile experience. Therefore,
all the pieces would be made of different metals, including bronze, aluminum,
and iron. The table itself would have had visual and tactile textures including
carved mountains and a machine tiled playing board.</span></span><br />

I was developing the miniature figures that would act as game pieces. While my
painting practice established the landscape and the wildlife, the beings that
lived in this world were all three dimensional. I am sad to say that I only
finished three of the figures before having to return home due to Covid-19. The

fishing spear as their primary weapon. A Ta”rhee, a long rope with a weight at
the end, is often used as an off-hand weapon to lasso enemies and pull them
towards the warrior’s spear. This allows warriors to attack without
compromising their footing in the muddy grounds of The Fens. The medicinal herb
culture, developed in Versh, also gave rise to stimulant concoctions in the
guild giving the warriors an advantage in strenuous mud combat.</span><o:p></o:p></i></span></span></div>

larger stature and greater physical prowess makes them preferable guardians.

the rise of elemental magic in the far west, The Fens is the first region to

work both with the guild and as freelance beast hunters in the Fens. Others
merely settle in Fen villages and contribute both as farmers and protectors.

<span style="font-size: large; text-align: center;">My art practice is a means for me to work through the negative aspects in my life. With this work I was thinking about how I treat myself and the things I often think about myself. I am interested in how people treat each other, themselves, and the world around them. I tend to focus on the negative side of that within my work, and have to make a conscious effort to remember the more fun and positive aspects of life.</span><div>

I enjoy learning new processes to add to my making abilities, such as paper making, book binding, and crocheting. I hope to never stop learning new and different artistic practices. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> "I Will Be Okay"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In my senior year I created hundreds of tiles that each read either "I'm insane" "I'm scared" or "I'm broken". I cast the tiles in iron, aluminum, resin, 3 different colors of wax, paper, and plaster and amassed over 700 of them. The phrases were in reference to things I often think about myself and how many times I think these things.</span><br />

I created versions of her house out of different materials such as yarn, wax, and metal. Her house is now a cream color but when I was a kid it was bright green. This is still a work in progress project, but as of right now i displayed halves of the wax, knitted, and metal houses with a green light shining out. </span></div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Each object represents for myself a time and a place. They each carry with themselves a heavy tale of how we met and where we are going. As I travel I am prone to seek out items to add to my collection as with each object I am in a sense adding to myself, creating a more lively narrative of my own life as well as that of the objects I stumble across. In my <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Ode to Adventure </i>I have gathered objects that each tell a tale of exploration, be it in the literal sense or a more interpersonal one. This Ode is particularly interesting to me because each item within the collage can tell a different story for each person be it the comical and childish threat of a can of mace for one, or the very real intimidation felt by the same object for others. I am curious to continue to push this dialogue of alternative perspective as it truly says a lot about where each viewer comes from and possibly where they are going. An adventure does not always mean hopping a fence or running from the law, life is whatever you make of it. Why not make it an adventure?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: large;">My work is an investigation into my subconscious in hopes of
capturing the fluidity I find myself submerged in. From a young age, I've been
attracted to spherical, drippy, bulbous and organic forms. What this means
exactly I'm unsure of, but will continue to explore this. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: large;">I'm captivated by the
physical qualities existing within ceramic materials, it's malleability and the
immediacy the material provides. Metal casting in many ways is quite similar to
ceramics. Whether that from the tremendous possibilities obtainable through
different processes, the uncertainty, or the vast amount of labor involved
within each material. Within both materials each step presents a multitude of
questions loaded with new insight, ideas and direction. </span><br />

presents throughout the development of the work. Throughout the physical and
chemical changes each material withholds I'm constantly provided with new
information perpetually leading me to push the limitations of the materials. </span><br />

<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">Environment and interpersonal
relationships help form this idea of identity. Identity is not a solid stable
concept. Our perception of our world changes through new stimuli were exposed
to daily. We’re constantly learning, growing and adapting. Whether we are fully
conscious of these changes is another story. Although there are times I’ve
stumbled upon new information which was enlightening and have felt somehow
different than ever before. Despite the fact that Identity is a rather fluid and
ever changing concept we somehow define ourselves within it. Perception is a
huge part of it. How we perceive ourselves. How others perceive us. How we
think others perceive us can be rather different. Our exterior appearance often
gets used to identify. As does the experiences we share with those who we have
relations with. In conversations between people often we’ll use descriptive
language to describe a third party. In that language we find ourselves
describing what would generally make that person stand out helping to identify that
person, whether that be previous actions or encounters, hair, clothing style,
glasses, eye color, accessories , etc. In the past two and a half years I’ve
been identified in conversations as the girl with dreadlocks. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Personally I
identified myself with them. They were a part of me I carried around for a
substantial amount of time. Each one has a story behind it, process, creation,
decoration and progress. Some made intentionally and others formed themselves
over time. Alike many relationships I have.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>All of the beads, bolts, trinkets and feathers were gifts from different
encounters I’ve had among my travels across the states. Some made from friends
while others gifted from strangers. A majority of the locks were snipped by
those who I’ve shared or had impactful / life altering experiences with. Each
lock is loaded with the experiences I’ve identified with for so long and now
the experiences I’ve had with those who I identify with. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We all carry a lot around with us. We can fill bags upon bags both literally and metaphorically with the items we use as well as emotions we have. For the better of tomorrow times come where 'packing' a bag and leaving it behind is a healthy habit to find yourself in. Some experiences, traumas or good times, they all pass leaving behind just a relic. As for the future, all we can do it aim for our goals, project (if you will) an idea of what it is we want and go for it.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I was lying to myself as I set up for the presentation of my past, present and future featuring myself and all the baggage I carry thought out my days. I say this because I am not alone anymore, I have no need to hold the weight all myself. My partner has made life less heavy for me. If roles here, in the performance part of this installation were reversed, I would lighten his load as well.</span><br />

Art is something I need in my life. However, I do not follow the harmful “requirement” that I let my art kill me. I don’t eat, sleep, and bleed art. Does it stress me out? Yes. Does it cause panic attacks? Yes. Have I had more emotional breakdowns in this semester than I have in a year? Absolutely. Does that mean I’m letting my art kill me? No. It just means that even with all of the mental instability, creating art is something that is worth it all.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b></div>

Almost every process it took to lead up to the act of pouring and every process it took to finish my works lead to exhaustion beyond the physical plane. The smells, the sounds, and the sensations of sand, the vibration of grinding metal, and the heat of flames left me in a state of sensory overload and in turn anxiety attack almost every time. I learned the art of stepping away from my work eve when I knew I was low on time. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b></div>

Its been a project in the making for many a year and we were happy to lend a hand in the casting of it and pleased to hear that it has now found a new home along the banks of the Delaware River in New Hope for all the public to enjoy! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">As an artist, continual inspiration comes from exploring local natural and built environments. By documenting buildings and trees, my sculpture and paintings are like three-dimensional portraits that exist as snapshots made during the arc of the subject’s temporal existence. When the tree blows over or the house is torn down, people who recognize them in my work remember them, allowing them in this way to live on.</span></div>

</span><div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="font-size: large;">I identify with my subjects and am entirely in their thrall while examining them. Fascination with textures and the decrepit majesty of abandoned buildings in Trenton led to much research and other inquiry about the social, economic and political history of this place. Making art that alludes to entropy and the effects of neglect over time has deepened my ability to nonverbally indicate the evidence of unseen forces. Currently, the ancient and wondrous Acipenseridae calls to me from the river when I paddle my kayak on the tidal waters, watching the endless variety of textures and reflections, wondering what lies beneath. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The Delaware River is home to a genetically distinct population of Atlantic sturgeon, one now seriously compromised by 19th century caviar harvesting and pollution from heavy industry along the river. Once at an aquarium near Portland, Oregon I met a fourteen-foot long sturgeon. This 150 million year old living fossil regarded me with the weight of its own history, armored with rows of bony shields. Hovering in the water at eye level behind the plate glass, it surveyed me with an ancient gaze. I knew then that I would make sculpture to document these creatures. Whether the Sturgeon Sculpture Series will be a testament to a close call with extinction, or a memorial for something not yet gone, remains to be seen. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The New Jersey State Museum has in its Natural History archive a taxidermy mount of a Delaware Bay sturgeon that is estimated by Curator David Parris to be 100 years old. Using this as a model, my sturgeon pattern can be digitally scaled up or down. Castings in iron, stainless steel, plaster and resin have been created at a ten-inch scale. Additional planned sculpture includes a glass casting at two feet long, and a cast iron public art piece for installation within sight of the river at twelve feet long. </span></div>

window came in March; one week, during Spring Break. Materials included a 5
gallon kit of Rebound 25 (a paintable rubber that takes gorgeous surface

for answering questions, as was their website, where basic tutorial videos are

prepare the pattern for mold, on the first day, I cut the fins off and mounted
them separately on boards. Using the overhead hoist I levitated the pattern and
blocked it with foam and wood to stabilize it, then introduced 3/8 rolled steel
rings with a 21-inch diameter. Using an extended 1/2” drill bit I pierced the
pattern multiple times, measured my hole depth, cut rebar to length and TIG
welded the rebar skewers to the steel. </span><br />

third and fourth coats were more involved, as I had to place and secure
pre-cast t-strips and ball keys with T pins. I put a lot of consideration into
the parting lines, as the mold sections needed to draft but some areas had deep
undercuts. The mold is in ten sections: two each for the head and tail, with
the body being divided into front and back halves of three sections each. The
aluminum shim stock I purchased for the job ran short, so I cut up aluminum
cans to supplement the shims, which I carefully inserted along the cut lines
over the whole pattern.</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>

four I finished the last batch of rubber, and began the mother mold. Free Form
Air is so light it floats, and it’s impressively strong. It is mixed in equal
parts, so I made up a number of well packed ‘snowballs’ and hand mixed the
batches one at a time. Nitrile gloves protected my hands, and I used a steel
pipe with ½ inch wood spacer strips to roll out the material between a top and
bottom sheet of wax paper. I ended up needing 7 gallons total of the material
at that thickness.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Palová, who lives and works in
Bratislava, Slovakia, first studied painting and sculpture and then
switched to glass, studying with well-known Czech glass sculptor Václav Cigler.
She worked independently for 20 years while raising a family before teaching
glass sculpture at the University of Sunderland in England. She currently
devotes all of her time to creating her own sculptural work. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";"><span style="font-size: large;">Her
approach to cast glass sculpture is perhaps characteristic of her generation,
which draws from—and breaks with—the ideas developed by the famous Czechoslovak
artists of the postwar era, such as Cigler, Stanislav Libenský, and Jarolslava
Brychtová. Her use of the material is gestural, emotional, and grounded in the
natural world. She works with light, using rough textures and transparent color
in glass.</span></span></div>

direct way to translate the glass work into iron was to initially explore using
her plaster silica molds for a series of waxes which could be directly melted
out using the lost wax process. This resulted in a new addition to her ‘Leaf
Series’ work that investigates the transition of glass, wax to iron.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Brenna Hahne's proposal above was chosen to be implemented for the Hornell Art Walk where the whole group was putting on an exhibition of their other work for the class. Wooden backing was attached so all the components could have wheels to make it easier to move around allowing visitors to create many different configurations. Some pieces weighed over 50# but with the wheels it made it easy. the wood was painted colorfully by each student continuing the collaborative nature of the project.</span></div>

Constantine is an unorthodox and relatively unknown hero. His series was left
behind while others prosper in today’s world; the same world that is also
leaving religion behind. Less and less individuals are being interested in
religion and even less are being active in religion. Constantine fights his
battles within the spiritual realm and although he is no priest, he is still an
exorcist. This ties to the loss of religious interest, and this piece serves as
a holding place for loss, whether small like the loss of a fictional character
or the loss of a piece of culture.</span></div>

project began with a blurred idea about experimenting with making bells out of
natural shapes, specifically trying to make bells out of flowers. I had
difficulties making the small pieces that I was trying to cast, so I changed my
plans. I kept my ideas about experimenting and sound.</span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Looking into other forms of bells, I found out
about the Tibetan Singing bowls. The traditional bowls are musical instruments
used in meditative practices. They are played with the bowl resting on a
surface as a padded mallet strikes the rim, causing the rim to vibrate and
producing sound. The shape of the bowl allows the sound to resonate within it
much like a bell does. I purposefully neglected to focus on the shape of the
bowls that I made. Holding with a shape that made a workable noise, I was
highly interested in experimenting with materials, and how varying materials
change the sound of a given shape. So I made a bowl for each possible
combination of the three metals commonly used at Alfred University’s National
Casting Center.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Iron and bronze have similar melting points, and can be poured together
in a variety of ways. Aluminum has a much lower melting point, so it will
ignite if poured directly with iron or bronze. In order to combine aluminum
with iron or bronze, I made sand-molds that held the bowl sideways so the
hotter metal could be poured in first until it reached a halfway point where it
drained out of a spout through the side of the mold. The spout was then plugged
and when the initial metal had cooled enough, the aluminum was poured into the mold.

<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Sound propagates differently in different metals. When a sound wave
encounters an interface between two metals it creates multiple sound waves,
many of which cancel each other out and dampening the sound. Additionally a
thin layer of impurities likely formed between the metals that were poured
separately. The best resonance was achieved when the bowls were made entirely
of one metal, followed with a combination of bronze and iron poured
simultaneously into the same mold.</span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">I decided that the piece relied on
interaction, both auditory and tactile. I decided to create a drum circle with
the bowls. They needed to be at a comfortable height so I made pedestals out of
pieces of log, with the natural wood pedestals referencing the unworked
exterior of the bowls and the drumming ring. </span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">To feel like a proper drum circle I thought there
must be a bright fiery center, so I made a large polished bronze bowl for the
center of the circle. I filled it with candles, and surrounded it with candles that
would reflect in the outside polished surface, representing a warm gathering. The
limitations of the gallery space caused me to substitute candles for an open
fire. The fire calls back to the process in which all of the bowls were made,
born of fire in one cohesive effort, just as the drum circle itself recollects the
community of the foundry. </span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">From any seat in the
circle one could reach and play at least five bowls, set in two concentric
circles around the central bowl, with the drumsticks. The drumsticks were felt
covered to enhance the sound quality. In all, the drum circle of bowls was
designed to generate a sense of community centered on experimenting with the sounds
of the bowls. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">The work I’ve done in foundry from the very beginning has
come from an interest in the idea of a thought translated into an object. While
I understand that this is just the nature of most art. I found an opportunity
to try to literally do this with sound. This was inspired by videos I saw
online where people used cornstarch and water to animate the cornstarch.</span></div>

about other ways that give us clues into the passage of time through a
landscape. This brought me to look at erosion occurring on rock
formations which show how much power an element such as wind and water can have
on a sturdy object over time. These images show the remnants of an
activity that occurs through cyclic repetitious movement. </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

search within my surroundings. In the woods I became intrigued with
observing lichen as well as other growths such as moss and fungus. The
Lichen seemed to be a perfect example of macro micro. Far away it is a
small speck that fades out of focus and contributes to a multitude of colors
that become apart of the trees and landscape. However, as one focuses up
close within these structures, it is a landscape within itself. The space
it takes over as well as the space it creates within itself caught my interest.
I came back to the studio with a backpack full of moss and a sweater
wrapped around my arm with bits of lichen carefully placed inside.</span></div>

between the inside and the outside by the two opposing organic forms which
connect the interior and exterior world through material. The cascading
fabric has order to it by the way it is pulled by gravity. The moss on
the other side looks as if the sculpture has been uprooted. By casting
these forms, the original material looses its malleability and the sculpture
turns into a permanent fragment. </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">As the semester ended, I felt it was an abrupt
end to my discoveries. I felt that through these processes in casting
large and small pieces, I had just begun to hone into both concept and material
and why I was creating these objects. Had there been more time, I believe
I would have started playing with blending the interior and exterior walls of
the fragment by creating voids in the material as well as making a less
constrictive space such as a corner. This way I will have more movement
which directs our own bodies to move around the piece in the space more freely
while being able to look through the sculpture which frames our vision.
This idea would add more dynamics and allow a more playful interaction
with the piece and consideration within its environment. At different
points of the day, the imagery through the voids would change. This future
object would also obscure what should be hidden and what is exposed. It
would lose the divide between elements related to that of the body and our
environment. In my next semester I would like to play with this idea.

<br />
Starting Concept: Knowledge .....<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">For
my stating concept I decided to look at knowledge. I feel it has played a major
part in my choosing the paths that I find myself on, and at the root of many
social issues. Therefore it has a personal and larger social connection. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Where I Started With this Concept ....</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">I embarked on this concept first thinking about what knowledge was to me.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Why is it important?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Where did I find my own knowledge?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">What are its attributes?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">I
understand that knowledge is a stupid big concept to tackle, and I think that
the fact that philosophers have been arguing about what it is and means for thousands
of years says a lot about how complex it is…</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p>1 Facts, information and skills acquired by a person through experience or education.</o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;">

<span style="color: black; font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">So
I started with a boat. Its mast looked like a traditional tree, its trunk
morphed into the vessel part, and lastly, the ruder was going to be made of the
root system. The mast was representative of the living and changing aspect of
knowledge, while the ruder referenced past knowledge being handed down and
while offering direction. I also think that the boat spoke of exploration,
which is influential as to why we seek out knowledge. </span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">And then there's also the
whole reference to the tree of knowledge….. </span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">As you remember, I didn’t finish
that piece…For one it was a little too technical for my abilities at the time (which
I think is interesting in that the skills I’m learning while working in the
foundry is based on knowledge handed down to us from thousands of years of
metal casting experience) and while it was poetic, I wanted to continue in a
way that was a bit more tangible and personal. </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">So
looking further into what this knowledge thing is, I started seeing it more as
having to do with consciousness, which again gets us into another philosophical
debate…</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Recalling memories of knowledge being handed down to me brought
this piece into existence. I felt it connected to me existing as a conscious
being in that I just really wanted something tangible to play with as a kid,
yet it had a conceptual side in that it was one of the first times my father
handed down knowledge like how to work with ones hands, and his connection to
carpentry.</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">With these, I was continuing my thoughts on knowledge being
passed down tome, specifically my family teaching me how to cook various types
of food, but I started to bring in the idea of paying homage to my ancestors
where the further distant source of knowledge came from.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">In
them I incorporated sugar skulls which are elements of </span><i><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">Dia</span></i><span style="color: black; font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><i><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">De</span></i><span style="color: black; font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><i><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">Los</span></i><span style="color: black; font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><i><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">Muertos</span></i><span style="color: black; font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> traditions, where offerings and
presents (such as food) are brought to the graves of loved ones. Another element
that came from these was the thought that I was/am going to make two more,
which, one will be given to an older relative like an uncle or aunt, and the other
will be given to one of my nephews, thereby trying to pass knowledge on. For my
last project, I further expanded on this idea of sharing knowledge, incorporating
my life now and those around me at this moment in this town. This kind of brought
me to studying Relational Aesthetics and the work of artists like Rikrit
Tiravanija, and Felix Gonzalez--‐Torres. </span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">In studying this movement, I found it
compelling that the work relies on the interaction between the viewer and work,
or even just between the viewers themselves. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">So
for my final piece, I set out to create a larger Comal in which myself and
others who know how to prepare food, will partially cook for a group, while the
group learns how to cook using this particular piece of equipment/sculpture.

threads that I might be able to follow throughout the semester. Looking at my
work I decided to continue looking at how tools function, how we use tools, and
resolved to explore my interests in the customization and personalization of
tools.</span></span><br />

my research into hot rod culture I came across the practice of drilling holes

research on the possibility of forms that would allow me to merge aesthetic and

Tallix foundry, and the bench is one of many that line the streets of
Louisville Kentucky. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: large;">Continuing with this idea of customizing tool and the
construction of a shop I decided to create a swage block. The form of the swage
block provided an excellent platform to create a custom tool. I chose to cast
it in steel in the interest of increasing its resistance to shock, and included
some fairly unique features like channels that could be used to dress various
sizes of hexagons and faces that could be used to form funnels or tapered
tubes, as well as various forms for creating different shapes of spoon and
ladle. The swage block is a great form for the customization and
personalization of tools and it’s an interesting object to boot. Clockwise
there is the casting of my swage block, the milling of the faces in the CNC
mill, and the finished swage block.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "corbel" , "sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Corbel;"><span style="font-size: large;">For my final project, I wanted to
create a planet out of fruit. To do this, I cast wax in open--‐face plaster
molds. During the process, I realized what mold making allows for is the
sampling of textures and forms from the real world. By manipulating copies, I
was able to obscure and re--‐contextualize what, at one time, was a familiar
object. In Planet Fruit--‐Sun, the observable dimension collides with the
dictates of my internal world, the familiar and the unknown merge, and the
origins of the final product are concealed. Before this, I would usually point
to the exterior world with referential forms. For example, my iron feet or
bronze vessel, both shown in the pictures above.</span></span></div>
