This is my final project, I call it the clay bouquet. These flowers are made from clay as the name describes, but also from a single chopstick that the clay was molded around. Each individual flower is a solid form that when put together, act as units in a modular bouquet. Being that we are in a time where stopping to smell the flowers is considered unsafe for being outside for too long, I felt I had to bring nature to me in some way. Each flower in particular is a Tulip because I had another thought about a now recent holiday. Mother’s day was upon us and I felt that at this time, it would become very difficult to go out window shopping for my mom, and ordering online would take too long. So, I figured, why not make something that not only represents the inability to go outside, but make something that would make my mom happy. Each flower is molded after Tulips which are her favorite type of flower and the colors represent our family by color preference. Blue is my favorite color, purple is my Dad’s favorite color, and Yellow is my mom’s favorite color. Overall, I am very pleased with how my flowers came out despite some hardships along the way, but I hope that you all like it as much as I had fun making them.

For the mobile, I used chopsticks to hold up each layer and various thread and string to hold the units. The units themselves are comprised of multicolored four leaf clovers, that when folded and taped together, create a beautiful flower pattern.

Jeremy Eisner Modular Form Project
This is my modular form project:
I had the inspiration to make this tower based on the concept of cutting out paper dolls. The repeating shape that connected each unit together felt like an interesting idea to turn into a 3d sculpture. I wanted how the simplest shapes could create a more complex looking design which was done with the letter “X”. The material is made out of colored card stock and each cube is approximately 3 inches high. In total, that would mean the tower is about 18in tall in height. Overall, it was fun to make, although tedious at times due to the repetitive nature of modular forms.
