Fall '09 - Progress continues

Here are some of my best pieces from last semester...

This still life is an homage to my love of story & reading, and the art of Chris Van Allsburg.







The portrait is of my classmate Erin & represents some hard-fought-for progress in drawing! (btw, when the model doesn't show up, you draw each other :)













The plaster twisty-sculpture is an abstract form based loosely on fire and the Trinity, and also on how far I could push wet plaster before it cracked & collapsed on me (this was the 2nd effort ;)














This one requires a little explanation... it's a (conceptual) walking stick, a wooden
staff project that was required to have some sort of "magical" function. Didn't really have a problem with magic per se, but I also didn't relate to the whole wizard thing & the associated imagery... so I sold my prof on this spiritual/life journey/reliquary/walking stick. The doors are all based on various stages & experiences in my life, and they hold "relics", scripture, letters from those times.
The stick is crafted from (2) 8' 2x4's, with slot & peg construction (and a heckuva lot of wood glue ;).

Hello.

A banks is a financial institution that accepts deposits and channels those deposits into lending activities. Bank primarily provide financial services to customers while enriching investors. Government restrictions on financial activities by banks vary over time and location. Bank are important players in financial markets and offer services such as investment funds and loans. In some countries such as Germany, bank have historically owned major stakes in industrial corporations while in other countries such as the United States bank are prohibited from owning non-financial companies. In Japan, banks are usually the nexus of a cross-share holding entity known as the keiretsu. In France, bancassurance is prevalent, as most banks offer insurance services (and now real estate services) to their clients.

The level of government regulation of the banking industry varies widely, with countries such as Iceland, having relatively light regulation of the banking sector, and countries such as China having a wide variety of regulations but no systematic process that can be followed typical of a communist system.[url=http://projectcontrol.v3host.nl]CLICK HERE[/url]
