I then used this footage for my final projection, where I projected onto toolboxes built by my grandfather. This examines themes related to the influence of my paternal heritage on my sense of self and subconscious, as well as the juxtaposition of the tools I use to those used by my father and grandfather. The footage of my final projection is paired with a musical score I prepared for the video and includes scenes of me both opening and closing the toolboxes, exploring vulnerability, and my sense of control in my personal life and artistic practice. https://thomasfox.ca/Blender-Video Tue, 27 Jun 2023 04:31:13 +0000 Thomas Fox https://thomasfox.ca/Blender-Video Blender Project Digital Animation2023 The animated characters found in the film are constructed from 3D scans of tools and industrial materials belonging to my father and grandfather (both of whom were carpenters by trade); these materials express the influence of my paternal lineage and contrast the tools I use to create with those used by my father and grandfather. The video elements in my piece were captured by iPhone over the last two years, representing moments of personal importance and beauty as well as giving a glimpse into my perspective and subconscious. The surveillance footage contrasts these videos by displaying my mundane comings and goings. I composed the music included in the video to be synced to the footage, with the characters appearing to view the videos suspended in space and help with the musical composition.. https://thomasfox.ca/Blender-Sculpture Tue, 27 Jun 2023 04:31:13 +0000 Thomas Fox https://thomasfox.ca/Blender-Sculpture Blender Sculpture Digital Sculpture2023 Many of the 3D Qlone scans in this work, including my sampler, synthesizer, and record crates, are tools that live in my studio, where I spend most of my time outside school creating music. The donuts represent loops (musical ideas used to create songs) and reference J Dilla’s album, “Donuts” (a seminal work in sample-based music). I created the donuts on the top of the piece using Blender and used photos of the sky taken outside my studio as their textures. <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c47f451290d7c436d1c88bf891f7a9c35159568e524ae6b7519a1468336ef1a0/ThomasFox_ProjectOne_Image6.png" data-mid="183470191" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c47f451290d7c436d1c88bf891f7a9c35159568e524ae6b7519a1468336ef1a0/ThomasFox_ProjectOne_Image6.png" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/371c3fecf201389aa80251a4c81a6f3b78b40ea1a6e52beb00e02dc8d389ab3b/ThomasFox_ProjectOne_Image9.png" data-mid="183470197" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/371c3fecf201389aa80251a4c81a6f3b78b40ea1a6e52beb00e02dc8d389ab3b/ThomasFox_ProjectOne_Image9.png" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cbb7d5966f354ae04cd2a52803ecafbe8a0c871067c08af3feb015e431bf6a71/ThomasFox_ProjectOne_Image7.png" data-mid="183470188" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cbb7d5966f354ae04cd2a52803ecafbe8a0c871067c08af3feb015e431bf6a71/ThomasFox_ProjectOne_Image7.png" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6b19e35b3fd84e613edeff0403fb787e66486e8f1f287c5e8a43bcf13fcaa710/ThomasFox_ProjectOne_Image8.png" data-mid="183470190" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6b19e35b3fd84e613edeff0403fb787e66486e8f1f287c5e8a43bcf13fcaa710/ThomasFox_ProjectOne_Image8.png" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6b3a178940e91d77a1d53525e9e7543ea86f4bf73184123766468551ac8ede03/ThomasFox_ProjectOne_Image3.png" data-mid="183470195" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6b3a178940e91d77a1d53525e9e7543ea86f4bf73184123766468551ac8ede03/ThomasFox_ProjectOne_Image3.png" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d33ea23cd48447c7812c2663b428517584ec5868194552895b7c312cc62f92b9/ThomasFox_ProjectOne_Image10.png" data-mid="183470189" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d33ea23cd48447c7812c2663b428517584ec5868194552895b7c312cc62f92b9/ThomasFox_ProjectOne_Image10.png" /> https://thomasfox.ca/Writing-Samples Tue, 27 Jun 2023 04:31:14 +0000 Thomas Fox https://thomasfox.ca/Writing-Samples Writing Samples Writing 2021-2023 Academic writing samples including contextual analysis, visual analysis, research, and artist’s statement.&nbsp; <img width="1280" height="800" width_o="1280" height_o="800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fb4e6ae0e0a75dd3c0601451d816ac50381fc6fbcc7426fe6e424c8d04ecb2d1/Screen-Shot-2023-06-27-at-2.50.59-PM.png" data-mid="183483552" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fb4e6ae0e0a75dd3c0601451d816ac50381fc6fbcc7426fe6e424c8d04ecb2d1/Screen-Shot-2023-06-27-at-2.50.59-PM.png" /> <img width="1280" height="800" width_o="1280" height_o="800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/866fa358400334d75c13e22b4cbfd81d7f5f708f0b3b3d53cf9c196a3be958d8/Screen-Shot-2023-06-27-at-3.15.30-PM.png" data-mid="183485528" border="0" data-icon-mode src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/866fa358400334d75c13e22b4cbfd81d7f5f708f0b3b3d53cf9c196a3be958d8/Screen-Shot-2023-06-27-at-3.15.30-PM.png" /> <img width="1280" height="800" width_o="1280" height_o="800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/58a4951f07dd725f1f7d3a4ea26b0fbf76514215881328d813e9e328b4efd3f8/Screen-Shot-2023-06-27-at-2.51.46-PM.png" data-mid="183483554" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/58a4951f07dd725f1f7d3a4ea26b0fbf76514215881328d813e9e328b4efd3f8/Screen-Shot-2023-06-27-at-2.51.46-PM.png" /> <img width="1280" height="800" width_o="1280" height_o="800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/658d1783cb90876791328501ef2377c175ebc82242a4cbe921af2261359e4e6c/Screen-Shot-2023-06-27-at-2.52.21-PM.png" data-mid="183483555" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/658d1783cb90876791328501ef2377c175ebc82242a4cbe921af2261359e4e6c/Screen-Shot-2023-06-27-at-2.52.21-PM.png" /> https://thomasfox.ca/Illustrations-Beat-Tape Tue, 27 Jun 2023 04:31:13 +0000 Thomas Fox https://thomasfox.ca/Illustrations-Beat-Tape Will Bounce Illustrations Vol. 1 Audio2022 A collection of short musical ideas meant to be listened to as is or turned into songs in the future.
