Max Sugarman – Foster Machinery
Please come play with the interactive clay sculpture. I created this small collection of mystery objects and only later realized that it functions just like a puzzle. Whatever! Come play with me! They are smooth and nice to touch… mostly. Just be careful because it’s a little sharp in a few spots where the rusty […]
Max Sugarman – Enjoy Rust.
I like collecting trash off the street. But only good trash. I won’t just take anything. I want metal, nails, screws, bolts, rust. I pick them up off the ground and put them in my pocket when no one’s looking, and when I get home, I put them in a mug on my shelf with […]
Max Sugarman – Email Dreams.
I had a dream about sending emails, and another where my rotting brain unraveled and fell out of my face. It was pink and gray and green-white. Can someone tell me what this means? Thank you. In the meantime I am making lumps of clay with rusty things sticking out of them until one of […]
Coral Gonzalez – Bridge of 1,000 Tales
2025 is a new year! New Year, new me, as people say! I’ve always loved the Japanese tradition of folding 1,000 origami cranes to make a powerful wish. (The crane symbolizies good fortune.). One of the more popular legends is that a girl with leukemia, folded a thousand cranes in hopes she would be granted a […]
Simone Thilges-Manansala – You Are My Sunshine
“You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are gray, you’ll never know, dear, how much I love you, please don’t take my sunshine away,” sang a mother to her toddler in the bus seats across from me. My mother used to sing that to me, and her father to […]
Yume Hoshino – MO-BUBBLES
After a long day of swinging through the city, causing chaos on every block, three monkeys hurry home to scrub away the dirt and grime from their wild adventure. At the base is Big Foot Darry, a pilates enthusiast with exceptional stability and core strength. Resting on Darry’s shoulder is Chive, the eldest while also […]
Jasmine Nojadera – Misty
Misty is like a dream you can barely recall. With this piece, I tried to depict the terror of forgetting a recollection of a dream. I chose to create a sculpture of a face without a body because when recalling a dream, we tend to leave out many important parts. The expression on her face […]
Sissel Ramirez – Dolores and Rusalka
https://youtu.be/GAyYnTpxk6A Dolores and Rusalka are the product of combining my love for visual art and music. Before this, I had never made a musical instrument, so this project was very exciting. Rusalka (blue) is a wood box with three classical guitar strings and a clay body. Her favorite hobbies are breaking her fingers and lying […]
Benjamin Couoh Menendez – Psychedelic Opossum
Behold! The psychedelic opossum! Why an opossum though? Well, the simple answer is that I just love opossums. My love for this creature and my interest in Aztec culture inspired me to create this psychedelic critter. Since childhood, I have been inspired by colorful Mexican folk art sculptures and their vibrant colors. I’m also inspired […]
Yume Hoshino – Branches of the Sunset
Appealing to surfers, college students, the retired, and families, the Outer Sunset in San Francisco is home to various gems I adore. This is my home base and the place in the world I know best. The suburban appearance of the Sunset hides the numerous restaurants, shops, and attractions that I’ve been introduced to over […]
