Realization of an Ambition

I tried making a sculpture in which the wire would meld with it's shadow more fluidly. So to achieve this I simply spray painted it black. While the sculpture creates my favourite shadows out of the 2, the shadow and sculpture aren't melded perfectly. But sure what harm. It's still nice.

Then of course there's the ambition I realized. Right from the start of this journey of people moving I said I wanted to make a sculpture again to this, but with stiff rope. I thought of using rope and covering it in wax, or threading a piece of wire through the rope. But they all seemed impractical. Inspired by the works of Isabel Nolan and Barry Flanangan I created this rope formation.

This is actually the second version. The wire in the first was much too flimsy and wouldn't stand AT ALL. The wire in the second (this one) is still pretty pathetic, all the same it's stronger, yet it still had to be hung from my curtain polw to be anyway upright.
