First of all, I apologize for the not-so-great quality of the pictures. I promise that I will eventually find a place in my house to take pictures of my art progress without having it look like I'm already living in debt from paying for art school.
Anyway, for my sculpture I have a vision of having my sculpture being a hanging mobile. So what I'm planning on doing is using the hoop that I weaved a dream catcher into and hanging different found objects from nature from the hoop to form the basic structure of the mobile. While making this I want to really capture the sense of environment and have the elements of the mobile to work cohesively, which would exemplify the unity of the over piece. Because of this I am going to have the pieces hang in a spiral formation to create a sense of continuity that the viewer's eye can follow when they observe the mobile as it hangs. For this project, we were assigned to create a sculpture with a certain theme or content in mind while creating it. Boiled down to one word, the theme that I worked with was "mortality". I wanted to portray the duality between life and death in this sculpture, but I wanted to deal more with the life being cut short, which is why I had my theme be "mortality" instead of "death".
Because of my theme I wanted to use a deer skull to represent the aspect of death in mortality, but I was unable to find a real deer skull to use, so I created one out of clay. I had the color scheme of the sculpture consist of black, red, white, and gold since I wanted the color scheme to be darker with the white and gold as accents to the darker components of the sculpture. |
