Memento
Memento for Popop Materials: Wood, Brass metallic paint, Black sharpie This sculpture represents the impact my late grandfather, my Popop, has had on my life and my family. A few memories came to mind when designing this. One from my time with my family at a summer beach house where we all stayed, and Popop played practical jokes on us the whole time. The other memory I come back to is when he and my Nana took me to Yoko Ono sculpture exhibit. It was kind of a let down as it was only one set of sculptures of the same pink blobs with spots. Keeping these in mind, the sculptures did leave an impression, and it seemed like something that worked well for a palm-sized sculpture. Wood felt right as it is a sturdy material, but stubborn; much like him. The brass paint represents his time as an officer in the navy; also known as the brass. The brass ended up looking more gold after application and this felt even more accurate to his impact with my family...
