For the first graduate student critique, I attended Clarissa's. She is exploring the relationship between man and nature, specifically the environment around us. She collects items from the beach and creates small sculptures and monotypes using them. Her sculptures relate to what she has printed. She is selective with her colour and considers movement and shapes while she creates. Clarissa combines natural and unnatural objects. She doesn't necessarily make the sculptures to display together. Clarissa has been experimenting with her monotypes a lot this semester, including using maps of where she found some of her items. Her intervention while creating is different with every piece and is often based off of aesthetics. She is attracted to radial imagery, geometry, and symmetry and she pays attention to textures. When she is looking for items on the beach, Clarissa picks up things she finds interesting and objects that are bright and odd. She once picked up a toy car because it made her think of a memory that was left at the beach. She likes to work intuitively then reflect on what she has made. It is like an experiment set up in front of her about what she is inspired by and connected to. Clarissa is inspired by dark matter and artists such as Taylor Baldwin and Nicole Pietrantoni.
