Ideas for the Senior Thesis show and piece placement

Okay, I think I have managed to come up with a working plan for my work in the Turnt Senior Thesis show.  Here is the layout.

First, my branches piece and newest carving will be on the walls aside the closet door and the emergency fire alarm.  Next I will have a large piece basically cutting the gallery floor in half.  That piece will be composed of dirt and the vertebrae molds I have been working on this semester.  I have the real whale bone, and two full molds complete all they need to do is dry and be glazed.  I will make two halves later this week and hopefully pull them Monday (4/28/14).  In front of the window will be two bust pieces.  I have talked to Totem and reserved a large tree stump to serve as pedestals.  Today (4/22/14) I have made a front and back bust.  I will put them out either Thursday or Friday of this week.  Next week I will work on the final bust pieces.  So I think that will work, I feel pretty good about it.  We will wait and see.

Also, I have been working with the idea of using grass as a sculpture medium.  Since the grass in the field is so plentiful I might as well try it.  I started out weaving it and I could not believe how time consuming it is.  If I want to continue using grass as a medium I think I will use is in the not so conventional way.  I will upload some photos after this post of my "progress" with the grass.
