It is hard for me to mention more than I have. They are both titled "Landscape," because that is what they are. I believe anyone can view it art however they want, that's why I dont force any more of an idea than how it is supposed to be a landscape. The title fits better with the second one, just because of the obviousness, but with the first I could have come up with something fruity. But the idea behind it was inspired by a landscape, and that's what it is supposed to be. But it isn't just some abstract sculpture where you say to yourself "hey that could be a mountain or that could be the sun or waves or rolling hills and so on." Like I mentioned in a previous post, it represents space and vastness like a true landscape inherently has. I tried to recreate that feeling on something, although large for a sculpture, quite small in comparison to a landscape.
The mountain range piece is more of same approach in the idea of vastness (i really wish i had a good picture of this one). It comes out at you and has a very stage design feel. The mountains blend themselves together with the crisscrossing. Also the background, although flat, peeks out between the cracks and illuminates the rest of the piece, creating space (at least for me, haha).
but view them however you want, they are more or less art for arts sake
hit me with something nasty cuncuna, that's what i like, nothing is more appreciated than a solid experienced criticism

Don't know if this is the kind of critisism you want, but I would have painted more clouds, mountains, and a sun on the background of the second one. It would add to the atmosphere that you are going for I think. It has a lot of atmosphere as it is, but a little more detail of the background would help some.
Hoped I helped.

I really like 'Landscape'. Great work! I could even see that hanging in
my room one day, and I'm not that big of a fan of art 
As for the criticism from you professor ("sweetness"), I can agree, but that's just the thing I like about it.

The first one was my senior project in college, the second one was made two semesters ealier, both were on a time schedule, i'm a procrastinator so there was a lot of crunch time, but I kind of like to work with a deadline. Makes that last few days more exciting.

 Both are very great. I would buy them if I saw them for sale.

I especially like the first piece! It reminds me of some strange kind of aquatic evolutionary offshoot. I like how you've added the Boba Fett and Legolas cardboard cutouts for perspective on the second piece.

Both look awesome. I like more the first one but its only because I like the color of dark wood (don't ask). I n the second theres clearly a Dean influence. I like it also really. Good stuff. If my mom sees that in a store she would definetly buy it.

Thanks Rover,
Well, I guess my whole attitude on art is that I won't bother with a social or political agenda. That's why they are just titled "landscape," because that is what they are. I just try to represent them in another way, while still keeping the feeling of vastness.
The first one was literally thought up in my head, drawn on paper, turned it into a wall sculpture. Pretty much all held together with wood glue, hahaha. That one was just ply-wood and stain. I guess it was funny to use ply-wood, but that was just because I was cheap, it didn't have anything to do with recyclable or inexpensive materials to create art. I guess I think that because I don't like the whole "art can be wonderful no matter the quality of materials" approach, especially if that is what is giving you the inspiration. Most of that garbage art that the general masses views as garbage, is garbage in my opinion. Enough on that. I was just cheap.
The idea behind second one started as smaller wood cutout paintings. But I always like working big. It lets the mistakes become less noticeable, haha. That and size does have some sort of quality, small or large. The crisscrossing mountains was just an idea I had. It let the mountains support themselves rather than being a flat painting. Also, the way the mountains blend together is the crisscrossing looks interesting visually. If I can motivate myself to work a little more on this stuff, I will probably continue in this direction.
