Here it was, a freshman on his way to school struck down and killed because of one person's ignorance and negligence. I was profoundly moved when I heard. My B.F.A. Thesis show was based on Bicycle Culture. Themes embodied in my work include the idea of cyclist vulnerability and how pedestrians and cyclists could be marginalized by careless drivers. <br />

And as always in an attempt to expand my portfolio full of things that I can design and sculpt, I wanted to make one from scratch. I looked at many images and toys and even plush versions to find my inspiration. In the end I realized there are a lot of different versions of the Koopa Shell even within the Mario world, so I settled with my favorite one.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;"></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; padding-bottom: 6px; padding-left: 6px; padding-right: 6px; padding-top: 6px; text-align: left;"><tbody>

You know, riding in the bike lane minding your own business. When suddenly someone opens their car door, right when you're about to pass them. Thus causing you to either A. Slam your brakes and possibly injure yourself, or B. if you don't have enough time to avoid it, Slam into the door and possibly die.<div><br /></div><div>Personally I have had too many close encounters with this situation than I would like. Its an issue I feel we face as rider and I address it with this piece. I started off on my search looking at various sources for what I thought would be a relatively simple to find thing, a driver side car door. What I hadn't realized was that I was on an already tightening budget. I found myself at the junk yard. One car door please, Nothing on it. Thanks. And with that I started this work.</div><div><br /></div><div>Note: I was working on this piece at the same time as my Peugeot fossil. Logistics was a major component of making this project work out, it took a lot of planning with helpful knowledge from the ever talented Stephen Keltner, Brooklyn College's Studio Technician, and all around jack of all trades. </div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7ftiRsHWaOhAEw7ffyAyrAs8P60LP4-HDGRILSIfrYyDZ4ejYpXe1Sr0FlDTGM4n3SYsMoKJiZyIFLDdlsy8HOKhRL_3Sa8KbpsykBkm5jvH-J0VZQwrE0EFWK4SQNmRFUtavb8e9cyk/s1600-h/Junkyard.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7ftiRsHWaOhAEw7ffyAyrAs8P60LP4-HDGRILSIfrYyDZ4ejYpXe1Sr0FlDTGM4n3SYsMoKJiZyIFLDdlsy8HOKhRL_3Sa8KbpsykBkm5jvH-J0VZQwrE0EFWK4SQNmRFUtavb8e9cyk/s320/Junkyard.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443903788735419282" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></a><div>Shot of where my prize lived.</div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiROpEbwTGL-WxJfZEo2YGP7mf6OCiaPARVqYJZ-Ih9ZWgjwpOaDpSoffM0QI0dSsdoChEiCIA7zEQY0MEDJSmHIeQqqHFtQPP8wVO3pppmvjyFXcDp3-LorIpvWIemA_PAZH72AdDTn7c/s1600-h/bought.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiROpEbwTGL-WxJfZEo2YGP7mf6OCiaPARVqYJZ-Ih9ZWgjwpOaDpSoffM0QI0dSsdoChEiCIA7zEQY0MEDJSmHIeQqqHFtQPP8wVO3pppmvjyFXcDp3-LorIpvWIemA_PAZH72AdDTn7c/s320/bought.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443904203746177714" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></a></div><div>Yes, Thats a car strapped to my mini hand truck.

I was inspired to make this piece because I often spy a lot of chained up bikes that get tires stolen or something taken off and abandoned by the owner and they just become an eyesore. As an Archaeology Major what was once garbage becomes artifact so I take this idea to create a fossil from a bicycle. The composition is inspired from the archaeopteryx fossil which is located in the American Natural History Museum. I wanted it to be in the round so It can be viewed from both sides unlike fossils which are normally seen en situ and flat against the terrain.</div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEionS9yTp-trzJIykRCBDeqN8GPRvtxWKWWaCZxWFjVGllaPebrw3QDqNBa2OtwpeB7cqT7HEmImhX-F5R94DofZPXFyoY8cOeRYf-ZgLnJoM5XYjX-S5tGqs-Btr9Uv5RBXugjwjTy2ro/s1600-h/Clean+peugeot.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEionS9yTp-trzJIykRCBDeqN8GPRvtxWKWWaCZxWFjVGllaPebrw3QDqNBa2OtwpeB7cqT7HEmImhX-F5R94DofZPXFyoY8cOeRYf-ZgLnJoM5XYjX-S5tGqs-Btr9Uv5RBXugjwjTy2ro/s320/Clean+peugeot.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443881419375879842" /></a><div>Starting from an abandoned bicycle. </div><div>May the gods of bicycle restoring forgive me.</div><div>I have sinned but this was for the sake of art.</div><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnC-bN_NsGDV6SXfZPynVn8ylZ6DcKYsotWdwSkWwXFCr9lYCNkV-djHapIUh7plXLNSdUA6L7Tds4aD4uP9pG3XDC1JxMAJoPhTyeW0cv2zD4wDek2TCAdtJPuvIOteogdVfI-xb_S80/s1600-h/mangled.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnC-bN_NsGDV6SXfZPynVn8ylZ6DcKYsotWdwSkWwXFCr9lYCNkV-djHapIUh7plXLNSdUA6L7Tds4aD4uP9pG3XDC1JxMAJoPhTyeW0cv2zD4wDek2TCAdtJPuvIOteogdVfI-xb_S80/s320/mangled.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443881415275849026" /></a></div><div>After 30 minutes of "treatment".</div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnC-bN_NsGDV6SXfZPynVn8ylZ6DcKYsotWdwSkWwXFCr9lYCNkV-djHapIUh7plXLNSdUA6L7Tds4aD4uP9pG3XDC1JxMAJoPhTyeW0cv2zD4wDek2TCAdtJPuvIOteogdVfI-xb_S80/s1600-h/mangled.jpg"></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii6VW6tztlVLJPL4DR1cIHHx7XTGEhPmq9jRUTeIBuQSC0jPqpZT2mI7aExxCCwmgTB3yf4zWIpRH_82yy2CA_YXyuZ7bwkR7pNlIXz6yEpbcpL9v6dohTpmI3iU9MhID5-tYAeHfCvTY/s1600-h/tamoseal+%26+mortar+acrylic.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii6VW6tztlVLJPL4DR1cIHHx7XTGEhPmq9jRUTeIBuQSC0jPqpZT2mI7aExxCCwmgTB3yf4zWIpRH_82yy2CA_YXyuZ7bwkR7pNlIXz6yEpbcpL9v6dohTpmI3iU9MhID5-tYAeHfCvTY/s320/tamoseal+%26+mortar+acrylic.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443881402979006962" /></a></div><div>It would seem I have no in progress of when I was building a mesh framing around the bike and spray foaming the surface to create a texture.
