I intend to somehow use the infinity symbol within my work, possibly in a three-dimensional aspect like this massive work by Gordon Huether.

Part 3: Choose a strategy I want to create a human face’s sculpture with some hyperreal aesthetic features like the clay works of Johnson Tang. Part 4: Sketches

As I watched the interviews of different contemporary artists on Art21, I was inspired by Jes Fan’s idea of challenging the beauty standard through his sculpture work. His sculptures question the thin line between aesthetics and grotesque as he incorporates biological materials like piss and blood into his glass, silicon, and resin mixture. Through his… Continue reading Art21 Contemporary Sculpture Assignment, Luong Vu

One concern that has always existed in my mind is the balance between art and science in life. As I grow up in a typical Asian family, academic pursuit is a very important subject for family discussion. This kind of discussion never ends in peace though as the career path I map out does not… Continue reading Luong Vu, Project 3: Part 1 + 2

This is a concept that has come up many times throughout my math and physics classes and used to be something that I just viewed as a number.

I’m picking the question of how certain magical stories/beings originated in human cultures. I’m fascinated by the idea that despite differences in landscape, culture, surroundings, and native species, many people from many areas of the world have some sort of spirit, magical beast, or higher power/entity that has magical capabilities. There are a few reasons… Continue reading Danielle Project 3 Pt. 1 & 2
