End Statement-Kmei

This project has been fun and a good challenge for me in my first year.

I used plastic dice and silver, some of which has been either sawn, filed or placed on different angles to try and throw the viewer off or lead their eyes astray.I did this action in relation to my text.Leaving some surfaces as is, was to purposly contrast the cleanliness of  the plastic die as well as the drilled holes or tube to mimic the “dots” on the dice.Iv tried to keep the design simple and bare almost stripping the dice away from the “bling bling casino” feelings that I recieved at the beginning of this project.

I think the message I am trying to put across isnt too difficult to read but would love to hear the comments of others in relation to the pieces.

Kezamei-mid point

half way there

A taste of whats to come

beginnings…..

feel like there is many directions I can go ,

uncanny as it is I think my material and text match……..

might just play with the dice, cut, melt drill and see what manifests…

dice seem to cause a feeling for games and play anyway…

 I know the text will help loosely ground me through the playtime…

text from Linda Huang to Keri-Mei Zagrobelna

“The gates of hell are open

night and day;

Smooth the descent

and easy is the way:

But to return,

and view the cheerful skies,

in this the task

and mighty lador lies.”

poem by Virgil’s Aeneid
