For Tenderpixel's 2014 summer break, we turned over the gallery space to Andrea Zucchini, London-based artist. As a result of the residency he presents his work in a solo exhib
ition, Alchemical Studies, from 6 to 20 September.
In his practice, Andrea Zucchini juxtaposes geological, cosmological and psychic processes, exploring how they are intertwined and can be accessed through one another. Using the notion of containment, he investigates the intimate correspondence between the micro- and macrocosm, alluding to them being analogous structures.
Zucchini ́s working method, which implies an appreciative approach to matter and its autonomous significance, is applied to the relationship with any material, be it iron, plaster, archival footage or text. At the core of his practice lies an interrogation into the metaphorical value of materials, both within their natural and cultural histories. By bringing these two domains together he intends to deconstruct the nature-culture dichotomy.
The sculptural pieces disclose multilayered narratives. Most recent works address themes such as the primitive sexualisation of matter and the marriage of substances, as described in the ancient practice of Alchemy.

August's color design class challenge was with analogous colors. I've been doing t-shirts and thread painting with a picture taken of a serpentinite rock slab Monte has. I print the picture from my computer, through the ink-jet printer, onto iron-on transfer paper. I decided to have it be my base "material" for the art quilt, along with a photo of a rock formation reflection Monte took in Norway. Then I printed some other photos reflecting tools and scenes from his geology world.
Serpentinite is like the origin of life substance (Monte of course would say this differently). It's related to the oil world. Origin relates to DNA. When Googling DNA, I saw lots of spiraling images, so was thinking spiral or diagonal when laying out the images. When taking geologist/scientists on a field trip through California, Monte took a picture of an oil bubble, capturing his and Stan's reflection in the bubble. I put the bubble image somewhat in the center.
So the dominant analogous color is green shades with some blue as accents. Then I printed a saying he's had in his office for years -
"Little boys who pick up rocks
either go to prison or become geologists.
"Geologists are Boy Scouts who hated to give up camping
when they went to college, so they majored in geology.
"A geologist listens to more silly questions
than any other human, and he must
weigh each answer with the greatest of skill.
"Have pity on him. He's just as lonesome as he looks,
He'd love to tell you everything he knows,
but he doesn't know how."
I was going to dye some material to add to the composition, but decided the photo image materials were enough. After stitching it all together I couched a variegated green yarn around each picture - this is the "quilting" thru the layers. There is a bamboo batting and a camo material backing. I crocheted a long "string" and attached it all around as the edging. I was going to crochet a lot of rectangles with the yarn to fill in the edges making it a total rectangle, but Monte likes it best with it's funky perimeter.
William (Bill) White III, retired BLM Physical Scientist, and a team of BLMers used a mud auger to drill salt core samples for salt thickness study. This methodology was used by Bill in 1988 and again in 2003 for salt thickness measurements that occur every 15 years. Bill chose to drill these cores next to holes previously made by the University of Utah's sonic drill with the intention of comparing his results and older methods to the University of Utah results with their new methods.
i really like the idea of a bookshelf with one book per cubbyhole. i think most people that display crowded bookshelves are fronting.

Art history is, of course, an important part of any art curriculum. An interesting way to have students approach this topic is by having them study styles of art and then replicate those styles in their own modern and original interpretation. In the above example students would look at the renaissance style of anatomy drawing called écorché (a painting or sculpture of a human figure with the skin removed to display musculature and skeletal structure).

We visited Hemingway's house in Cuba, Finca Vigia. It was quite lovely, though we had to shoot in through windows (for an extra 5 CUCs (about $6)) for fear of people stealing things.

These are just color studies- I drew the circles, scanned them, and then printed blocks of them so I could test colors on them before I committed to an entire watercolor painting.
The Loyola Program in India offers students the opportunity for summer study in regions of North India that are striking for their cultural diversity, natural beauty and historical richness. The program is based in Dharamsala, located in the Kangra Valley in the shadow of the Dhauladhar range of the Himalayas.

This weeks theme was "Books" so before i went to sleep, i thought of this idea, and to remember it, i got up from bed and actually wrote down the detail on the PC. Today (sunday), I got around to doing this, and also doing actual studying. Yep, too much procrastinating during the weekdays. I wanted to do this orig...inally in a library setting, but figured that i might not get permission to do it there so i just made a setting in my house. I would have preferred the library though. Well tell me what you guys think.
please view as a series
No time like the present to really take a look at oneself....I spent the afternoon snapping photos of myself (I know...how vain.....) as a self-reflective study. (c:
I came out with loads of postable images. I tried different body positions and concentrated on the use of space around me. I'll post a sample of them over the next few days.
one thing I do know is that I need a haircut...luckily thats been scheduled with my favorite stylist Lauren. Whom I need to photograph again come to think of it...hmm....(c:
Drawing charcoal on paper
I worked on the theme of war for a competition. Difficult issue for me, I try to reconcile the ancient painting with modern painting.
I have taken inspiration from "Massacre of the Innocents" of 1600 and a little to Goya.
this little study painting is now done...sadly I'm not going to get to keep this little gem...Noah's mummy wants it!!! so off it goes on Wednesday!
Taking a study break in the WPI gym. (We stayed in the WPI gym because we couldn't say with students at Holy Cross.)
