Independent Sculpture 2

 









In this sculpture, I focus on my childhood and my love of dollhouses as well as collecting small trinkets. I use these two ideas and blend them together to create a dollhouse storage box. While the box itself looks like a typical doll house, the back of it reveals 8 miniature boxes which allow me to store some of the trinkets that I find most precious to me. My color pallet for this piece is bright and fun which connects deeply with me. These are colors I would not have chosen as a child, but as a young adult, I love them. On the other hand, with the construction of the dollhouse and the addition of the storage element, my eight or ten-year-old self would have adored it. I wanted to create this piece to blend time together. To show how my young self and my adult self can still correspond and create together. The construction took significant work, and I was concerned it came out looking like something from Michaels or another large art supplies superstore, but I strongly believe the intention as well as the color choices help relate it back to me and show the immense dedication, detail, and time spent on this piece. dedication
