Claire Russo, Arc d’Triunf
07/05/2009
Hi all- have just graduated only to find that nobody cares… shockeroo…. Nonetheless, here is a shot of my honors show, an enormous foam-board triumphal arch which I upholstered with a quilt whose panels track my daily life- pie charts of how I spend time in classes, maps of where I walk in one day, etc. My goal was to use up as many of my sewing and art supplies as I could before graduation.
The Arc is 9 feet tall by 8 feet wide by 4 feet deep. Some materials included: neck ties, glitter, old t-shirts, acrylics, watercolor, gouache, pencil, marker, yarn, thread, floss, beads, pom-poms, Elmer’s, plastic dinosaurs, condoms, tooth brushes, buttons, zippers, bows, christmas tree ornaments, felt, sequins, fabric paint, photographs, dried and pressed leaves, old receipts, textiles.
