purpleponyartMy second project for Tuesday’s class, ST-J3R0M, took up too much of my time and mental energy. I was beset by technical problems which had many learning outcomes. My skill with sculpting and papermaking couldn’t match my imagination on this one. And that’s all right—every semester is going to have one of these challenging projects that’s hard to love!
My concept for this project was to abstract Biblical scholar St. Jerome is the patron saint of archaeologists, archivists, librarians, and other studious pursuits since I'm a library technician. I surveyed Artstor for Renaissance portrayals of St. Jerome. Two popular depictions (besides portraits) emerged—St. Jerome situated in his library surrounded by books or writing in the wilderness and leading a hermetic lifestyle. Afterward, I conceptualized an updated, high-tech rendition of St. Jerome. The figure is abstracted into a satellite dish resting on a broken, floating rock formation.
I brought it to critique unfinished and it was pretty embarrassing for me. I pride myself on getting things done on time and done well. However, my classmates had a lot of good feedback and like the natural textures of the paper as well. But, I spent a ton of time patching bare areas and finished the satellite so I could get some pictures.
