Sculpture
My goal for this project was to create a sculpture of a car engine that is haunted!! Revving and lighting up as people walk by. Most materials are crafty items such as foam, cardboard and hot glue, but I also used some more heavy duty materials such ass pipes, wood and tape. The reason I chose a bunch of different materials was to create a Frankenstein look to it. I had to learn how engines were made up and how tubes were connected to it so I can recreate the life size sculpture of it. In terms of the experience, I want the viewer to feel excitement and surprised to see an engine outside of a car revving and creating light as they walk by! ItS AliVE!!
About:
Hey! Im Alex Duran, I am a senior at UNT majoring in New Media and I am from the Dallas area. My work is a bit diverse, focusing on video and editing but touching on sculptures relating to metal since I do enjoy working with metal smithing and jewelry. Throughout the years my work has mostly focused on cars, whether that be my car or professional photography on exotic cars. I do like posting on social media, mostly gym and fitness relatable content, but I also have a car photography account that has some of my work!
