Sculpture
Week 4 (Tuesday 22nd October 2013)
I
expanded my original thought of weaved technique and created different ones,
messy, organised, overgrown, and circled. All this helps me to develop my work
and she how many ideas I can get from one technique. The holes that are created
from weaving changes it from a solid object, light can be seen through it or
the audience can peck through the gaps. Peers have stated that what makes weaved
affect appealing is the fact that it flows and connects together with ease. I
looked at different weaves, twisting, straight overlapping, slack overlapping, and
angled overlapping. The tightness of the media can create power and strength
where as loose material can make it floppy and overlap where not necessary.

I
also looked at artists such as David Garcia
who turns work into large sculptures where people can walk under but still
has the aspects of a nest, the overlapping material.

Lizzie Farey was another artist I looked at as the
nests she uses are realistic and that they would look natural up a tree,
opposite to what I am doing. I found it interesting how nests can go in many
different directions. I will start to explore how they can be put together as
part of a group instead of being separate pieces. Being placed in a made
natural environment, in a row on the floor, hung, nailed or stacked.
