The Importance of Details (Creative)
No full textAt first glance, this small sculpture of a girl may appear as just another piece of clutter in an old, dusty attic. However, upon deeper inspection, there is more than what meets the eye. Someone by observing the figurine can gather endless amounts of details and feelings. Every inch of it–from the worn-out socks, to the shading in the dress, to her rosy cheeks–has depth and characteristics. The fingerprint, left behind, on the figurine’s head shows that the object was hand-painted. There is so much expression and story within this figurine. If one were to stare long enough, one could get transported into the scene of reading alongside her on a grassy meadow underneath a swaying willow tree.
To highlight the figurine\u27s characteristics, I utilized a white background to illuminate the contrast between the bright and vibrant colors of the clothes and the dark and muddy details such as the shoes. The white background also helps create a crisp and sharp outline, giving depth to the space between the girl’s leg and the picture book.https://crossworks.holycross.edu/photographing_antiquity/1048/thumbnail.jp

The Golden Pup Lost in Time (Creative)
No full textThis ashtray, modeled after a Dachshund, has a brilliant golden appearance. When flipped, he has two engraved markings, one saying “JB” and the other “2729”. These engravings refer to the model of the ashtray produced by the Jenning Brothers. While the details of his, the pup, journey are unknown, he is now a proud member of the Holy Cross Archives and Distinctives Collections.
It can be seen that this pup was pre-owned, used, and loved. What has he seen? What has he heard? What important moments was he present for? What would he tell us? One can only imagine the memories he holds. The discoloration on the side of the pup\u27s face shows that he has been through more time than we know. However, the reflectivity on the pup’s body and the smile on his face show that he hasn’t aged as much as we thought, he continues to look as euphoric as ever. It was an honor working with you, golden pup. Continue to age euphorically, shimmer vibrantly, and, most importantly, be captured by others’ memories.https://crossworks.holycross.edu/photographing_antiquity/1050/thumbnail.jp
