Mckendree Key
Heeseop told me to check out this artist, Mckendree Key, who is also working with installation and challenging the viewer's usual perceptions and interactions in public, commercial, and urban spaces by diving and splicing the spaces up.

Heeseop Yoon
I had an amazing studio visit with installation artist Heeseop Yoon. She works with 1/4" thick black masking tape on Mylar, drawing at a large scale spaces that are often cluttered, claustrophobic, forgotten about, and filled with ambiguous memories. She encouraged me to really think of alternative installation methods for my sculptures in order to effectively transport viewers into the world the sculptures reside in. We also talked about the scale and surface finishes of my work. She also recognized the intentional ambiguity I'm striving for, which was encouraging.
Work in progress
The piece kind of collapsed once I got to the shoulders, so the form looks a little different currently. I had to cut the torso off above the belly button to allow it to set up before reattaching it, which distorted the form I had going. Got a little too excited and worked a little too fast...adding too much weight at once. I'm going to try and incorporate some of the gestures seen here into the current form. Yay for clay!
