Wire hand

This week I started making a sculpture using wire.. I wanted to use the wire that you were able to get in the store room(thin and black) but unfortunately they were all out of that so I went to the recomended garden store and purchased the thinest wire they had in the shop. It didn't hold the fragile loot that I wanted, however it was the best I could find so I worked with it.

At first I did not quite know how to start the sculptural piece.. So I tried getting a vague idea of the the length of the wire I'll be needing by simply wrapping the wire around my hand.



When I took the wire off my hand it had held a interesting shape after being wrapped around my hand so I took a picture of that also.



..So I had enough of messing about done so I went onto actually making the sculpture, I created the contores with wire first


Then I started connecting them to make these.

Ceramics

This week, I went to the ceramics artshop on Tuesday and I througherly enojoyed it. The last time I atempted to create a 3D sculpture of a hand out of clay I wasn't able to but this time, I think went quite smoothly.

I noticed that I haven't posted many pictures of my art work at all, so these are what I did in the past while.

These are the experimentations for layering of shapes in a full body scale, I couldn't make the paper transparent at the end but it was quite an interesting thing to do.

I also did a sky blue and orange pastel angels but the combination of the lighting and the flash didn't allow me to get a good picture of it so I'm just going to leave them out for now.

----------------------------

These are me trying to bring the layering into 3D..

I have being trying to slowly bring the layering effect of the hand into 3D, and started making kind of a collage out of what I paint. PVA collages.

<- What I used for the layering, inked tissue paper.

Susan Rothenberg

I like Rothenberg's way of showing movement in some of her pieces by using one perticular color to depict the movements.

Kiki smith

Kiki Smith I think creates lovely fragile looking pieces. Quite a lot of her pieces are done in black and white.
