This semester I plan on making a bunch of monsters that live and interact in their own world. I want to take the influences from my childhood and mix that with my adulthood. The monsters will be cute and frightening and play with the viewer’s emotions. I also want to explore putting spices and seasonings into the clay. I hope this will add color, smell and texture that will in enhance the monsters appearance. I want to try to discover why these influences such as Jim Henson and old anatomy books effect my work so much.
I have been looking at artist like Julie Hughes art and her installation work. Her work uses strong bright colors that grab my attention. Her images also play of those classic childhood icons that we see so much. I also have been watching Jim Henson’s videos and seeing how he puts together scenes and environments for his characters.
here is also two links one to julie Hughes web site and one to a muppet video
