| For this piece, I wanted to construct something I could wear on my head that could react with my body and can also act as a display. I started by cutting mdf board into even pieces and screwed them together. |
I then took the router and carving two eye sockets to see out of.
I also carved a neck hole so I can wear it.
I took apart an old seat and used the foam cushion.
I then inserted the foam around the neck hole and taped it to the mdf board using masking tape.
 |
| To help my medium stick and stay, I decided to cover almost all of my box in paper and different kinds of tape. |
 |
| I designed a wood block insert that would covered the eye holes from the inside so that it would, at my control, obstruct my view. I also used the router and carved a path in both of the wooden boxes. |
I took black pastel and colored my box and layered chrome spray paint on top. I then cut and screwed two wood blocks to enclose the box once both halves were together.
 |
| I had a lot of fun with the router. I decided to carve a pattern into only one half on the box. I then painted the inside of the pattern with an orange ink to add depth and dimension. The other half is offset by a paper cutout that is screwed in. This paper cutout has a uniquely-shaped window cutout with a different color/ texture featured on the inside. |
I painted the inside of the box all sorts of different colors using watertown ink. The neck hole was also painted and fades from green to blue on the bottom. I then installed a locking mechanism so that once I put it on, I could secure it using the lock. I then added hinges on the other side to open and close the box with ease.
In addition to painting the neck hole, I layered duck tape on one side and masking tape on the other. Both surfaces are spray painted silver along with inside. This piece is also meant to be engaging so paper was installed which features different shapes cutout with a different color/texture featured on the inside.
