I AM a Sculpture Scientist!

This week I'm partaking in the sculpture elective  The word I have chosen to inquire is 'wrap' so here's some pieces based around the word 'wrap'

Rubber bands wrapped around a wine bottle (both found in studio  on the second day)

A dead mouse I found on the footpath mummified in this  long fabric.

I said I'd wrap all the things in my room... and so I did (minus clothes). This is just a a documentation of that action really.

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.

3D

I think I may have mentioned before how I was going to make 3D work, well this is one step in that process.  I'm well proper proud of it! I love how it's one entity but has several individual representations of a person. And I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it can stand on it's own without any support. I think I'm over enthused and pleased with that fact. It's shadows how ever are where I get the most enjoyment from it! It's sometimes like a continuation onto the piece itself. Where the shadows begin and the body ends is blurred... I LOVE THAT!! Well proud!!... Now to find a way of presenting that shadow aspect successfully during the assessment.. Look you some down there!

DEER, as in the word.

It was pointed out to me that I've learned that to create a sense of movement all I have to do is repeat an image. And that got me thinking about the simplicity of the nature of movement. So how difficult could it be to make it look like other things are moving AKA the word deer.

 

 It combines Typography AND my project. Which makes me happy. Then I added in animation! Yet again.

Animation the second

It works a little slower than I would like on this site but it's fine like that. I'm surprisingly happy with how it turned out. I wantd to do this in a stop motion with a piece of rope, but time and exactly how I would achive that effect were prolems. Flash has solved those problems. Thank you Flash and Tweening, I'll be seeing the 2 of ye again.

Animating

 

This is a short GIF I made ages ago but only recently finished off. Still with the theme of movement though.
More to come.
