Assemblage Sculpture

 For this project I created a sculpture reflecting me and my hobbies because my hobbies reflect some of the things in life that I enjoy most. I chose to have everything protruding from the half-sphere because these object/hobbies themselves do not compose who I am, instead they are extensions, certain areas of life that I have chosen to expand upon and pursue.  The shards of sea-glass (intended to resemble crystals) represent my interest in geology. Geology is fascinating to me and is becoming a bigger and more important part of my life as I work towards my degree in geology/geological engineering.  The knife blade is included in my sculpture because I collect pocket knifes specifically those made by the company Spyderco. the knife blade featured is a Spyderco paramilitary which is out of commission because of its broken tip. Lastly the assemblage sits on a bike chain, symbolizing how I am always on my bike. Whenever I get the opportunity I love to ride my bike around town and explore.
