Day 29: Countdown to finish!

It's the final week of the spring JAMS session, and apprentice artists have begun painting symbols and narratives onto their sculptures.

Their stories, represented visually through found objects and imagery, cover deep topics both positive and negative. Kyle's piece is topped with a fork and spoon, to represent consumption. Matt conjured a movie reel from found objects, because his dream job is as a movie editor. Sierra incorporated a bottle to symbolize hope flowing as water. Kayleigh tackled alcoholism with a two-sided totem-- one part coherent, one part messy-- to reveal the duality and self-destruction of people facing the addiction.
