Masked Identity


Alex Latourrette and his lyrical "response to switcheroo article"


The solemn things i do. the solemn things i try. I wished i was a king, now i wish that i could fly.

I look to be the person, i could never try to be. The lady eating venison, or the old man in the tree.

Fooling plastic people, with my plastic voice. In a plastic city, filled with plastic poise.

Nowhere, ...everywhere,.. and found not in between. Of all the numerous faces, mine was never seen.

Written statement

There were many numerous and careful design decisions put into the effort of building the mask and its base. The overall intention of the design was to create a knight-like figure. A knight is a symbol of strength and loyalty. Being part of a new generational family i often look at our military history and how the world becomes a battlefield for everybody in one way or another.  Armor is useful to protect your self not just in times of violence but also in times of turmoil and self doubt. The armor is more for the psyche than the body. It also contains influences from my south American ancestry in the white blanket cloth for the body and the semi-incan design for the head peice.

Paper stacking project

Paper stacking Project

My starting vegtable : a roughly sanded pepper


 it began turning to fruit through enough whitling


and it became more squat and natural looking.

 
 
The final peice is an apple with no stem.
 
 
 
 My Abstract work started as a small spike stacked from little paper squares

Spread out with larger squarish shapes

 
Another side was made duplicate to the other and put underneath
 



The final is a representation of a water droplet before suspension in air.
