JuYeon Kim: The In Between

JuYeon Kim: The In Between, originally uploaded by afsart.

During the spring quarter 2010 10 students and one graduate assistant from the Savannah campus worked with visiting artist JuYeon Kim to create the Cave Installation for the "In-Between" exhibit.

Inspired by the artist's and students' interpretation of the eighth-century Buddhist text "The Tibetan Book of the Dead," these ambitious works signify the range of human experience, reminding us of the volatility of the physical world and our illusory perception of it.

Seeking to bridge the gap between divergent cultural traditions, Kim began studying the bardo—the "in-between" space in Tibetan Buddhist practice. From this study she set forth on the journey of creating two sculptural installations for "The In-Between."

The cave installation consists of six hardwood panels (representing the Six Realms of rebirth) arranged to form a hexagonally shaped interior space. The walls of the cave-like interior are covered with sculpted figures in both high and low relief. Kim developed the smoothly polished wood exterior of Untitled_ci10 to contrast with the encrusted interior in order to provoke a sense of disorientation. She notes: "I try to create unusual environments that bring out viewers' primitive inner feelings and draw them back to the basic question of who we are."

Sankofa

My day was made today when John Adams and Ricki Dwyer said to me that their sculpture was created in the spirit of Sankofa an Akan word meaning "Go back and fetch it". It embodies the need to understand your past so that you are prepared to step into the future. Made my quarter.

A collaborative Sculpture by John Adams (Industrial Design) an Ricki Dwyer (Fibers). This work combines digital fabrication and basket weaving techniques.These photos depict the work in progress which will be complete for finals in two days. This is an excellent example of both the collaborative and high-tech high touch ethos of the sculpture minor program.

Alli Hall: From Binary to Bronze

PA231264, originally uploaded by afsart.

Alli Hall continued her exploration of Digital Applications in Sculpture that she began during the summer of 2009. This fall she made a mold of her FDM model that was created during the summer quarter. Once completed, she created a wax positive that was sprued and gated for ceramic shell bronze castings. She had the pleasure of pouring the piece herself on October 23, at SCAD Atlanta. Here you can see her cutting away the sprues on her sculpture. Alli gets kudos for being the first SCAD student to cast bronze from an FDM model as a sculptural application.
