Over the past few years I've discovered that my best strength is ceramics and sculpture; pretty much 3D work. These are the pieces for which I've stayed at school till 8pm to work on, for which I've gotten excellent marks and for which my family and friends fight over to keep in the end xD <33

My Spotted Griffin from grade 9 :] Experimenting with texture and glaze.
Freeing Music from grade 10. My first 100% for my concept and work with wires.
Life Studies from grade 11, sculpted from a live model which was a great experience, though weird at first.
My Dragon  from grade 11, which is currently in Colombia. I sold it for my ticket to Europe! djsfhgbelsjk
My Blossoming Phoenix from grade 12. A bit of a sister statue to my dragon, for the wire sculpture in the wings. 
Fall of Man, the original Adam from my Adam &Eve. I found him on the floor shattered one morning after I had left him out to dry. I had a bit of a panic attack, and I cried all morning. I was going around school with mascara all down my face, which is unfortunate and kinda awkward. ANYWHO, I didn't give up though, I salvaged this and I made it into my own marble bust :D
Adam & Eve, grade 12, my greatest achievement :] not only for the development of the concept, but also for the technicality of the sculptures themselves.
I mean no disrespect to anyone with this piece, It is just my take on a famous story and letting my imagination run free.
It's a twist on the story of Adam & Eve, (the Book of Genesis) a statement on the negative image that the bible has given women (fall of men, sin, temptation, sexuality, consciousness, etc), and how women are truly the creators; Mother Nature.
I'll be putting up more of my pieces as time goes by :]
