Over the past month or two, I have been grasping difficultly with time and emotional management. This sculpture is a kind of representation of that. The dimensions of this box are a direct representation of my body mass, and the objects inside the box are a kind of visualization of the things I have been feeling. Conflict, tension, destruction, and motion are all represented in the enclosed space. Although adding to my stress at many points was a very new and therapeutic way to really work through all these emotions. I hope to continue adding shapes to this structure as a way to keep myself both busy and challenged during the summer months.

Process wise this sculpture took quite awhile. Each joint on the wooded shape features a double dowel joint that was formed using hand drills, drill presses, wood glue and a chop saw at certain points. The wood itself is pine that was sanded and stained by me along the process. Inside the structure features a variety of materials including Burlap cloth, cotton string, eye screw and S-bends that were bent and turned into hooks.
