I chose to use the stadium as 'my place' because I am there more than any other spot on campus. Mostly because the art ed department is there but also because that's where I park even when I'm going to a class that is not in the stadium. I've always loved the architecture of the stadium entrance. I chose to use my hammock as my 'sculpture' for this piece because, for me, it represents security and relaxation. I used a couple of different versions of the hammock, because I couldn't decide if I wanted it to be empty or have a 'person' in it. Although I think it would be really sweet to actually be able to go up there and hang out, this sculpture would be more of a symbolic piece than a functional one; I want to be up there, but I can't. I think it would really instill a sense of longing to the viewer, something I feel pretty regularly. I am *pretty* happy with how they turned out. I tried to experiment with puppet transform in photoshop but wasn't really able to get the hang of it, resulting in some iffy perspectives but I tried really hard to get the saturation pretty balanced to make it look real. I love the third image.
