Reflection Statement:
The three sculptures visually communicate repetition, focal-point, and negative space.
While exploring the materials to build the sculptures, i wanted to focus on innovative techniques because it would create a more intricate design. I decided to to include the innovative techniques of skeleton & skin (modge podge & tracing paper), cutting negative shapes in watercolor paper, and twisting masking tape of wire shapes. I felt the work was lacking a sense of cohesion as a set so I decided to give each sculpture the same black and green color scheme to unite them.
I want to keep exploring innovative techniques that can make my artwork more experimental and unique. I want to learn more about constructing structures out an assortment of materials as I am more used to sketching and illustration work. This piece allowed me to work with materials I've never used before, and learn how to manipulate them into creating a final product that communicates something different. The making of this work exposed new ideas such as using modge podge and tracing paper to create unique structures with a "skeleton" base to support it.
