Card in the multiples

I started these sculptures as just a cut out of my silhouette;(knowing me that's how you spell a high heeled shoe) I did this time and time again to form a huge stack of multiple heads.  I love the landscape effect it has created.

As a by-product I also created the negatives of my silhouette , which under different lights products great effects.

So not to waste too much of the card left over, I created  another silhouette of my head using swirls and bends, all collied together .   

 

Finally I bolted yet more multiples of card together to create what to me looks like a chaotic piece.. Personally I did not bond with this piece.  

All in all I really enjoyed the results of the work I put in to these pieces..  

change faces and ideas

This week I have continued my focus on the body, particularly the head and face. On Monday I made a number of head shapes out of wire, However i was not to impressed with the outcome, due to the fact that wire was far too easy to ms-shaped by knocks etc. It also did not portray a face as I expected and looked more like a bent wire frame. I also tried using a wooden frame, with Welding rods drilled though, what I was hoping was that I could mould and shape a face protruding from the rods. This ended up proving difficult due to the rigidity of the rods, however this could be looked at again in the future, it’s just not right for a facial sculptor at this moment in time. 
I have enjoyed the week, but dam i have been tired,

 

Life drawing also played apart in my week and as mentioned before fitted in with my inspiration’s of moment, facial features etc. below are a few of my sketches, mainly 2 minute pose drawings.

After moving aside the wire idea, i moved on to stencilling my head with the use of an overhead projector, on to a piece of card, since then i used that one piece of card as a template and continued to make more and more stencils of my head. I intend to make some form of sculptor once I have enough...












It’s been another difficult week. I have found that I am unable to focus on more than one thing at a time, this tended to lead me to get in a twist.  Especially If i can't work things out in my head. Again I have been hugely tired and if I am honest a little grumpy at home. I am blaming the change in season and the dark evenings, however those around me have raised concerns and a small med change has taken place. So Wednesday evening I took a step back from my art work, I am not saying I am giving up, I am just accepting that I cannot do everything and i cannot always fulfil other people’s expectations

reflection of the week..

Not much in the way of sculpting this week. my focus has been on drawing.. 
Ok this how it began... Drafted my personal statement,( seriously i saw one example that stated, rather than seeing a rusty nail, they see, gold, silver, browns, ) my focused on my inspirations like
People. Facial expressions, gestures, movement.  Nature. Shape, form, colours and the cyclical nature of life in general.This then lead my lecturer to understand where i was coming from with my ideas.

So i started looking at skulls, drawing their features etc. at first as usual i was heavy with pencil( the shakes make it a little hard work being light at time) but i experiment with just using the pencil end. I also looked at drawing using points. I moved on to drawing myself (shudder)

Oh Thursday i did life drawing( different qualification, but fitted in nicely with my week) I loved it, not a straight line in sight wooo hooo, felt a little sorry for the model(cos I'd be uncomfortable stood naked in front of so many people, but she stated she zoned out which eased my mind. 

Friday i used graphite powder, closed my eyes, felt my face and mapped it with the graphite and my fingers... turned out some great pieces, i also did a paper draft of a 3d model of an abstract face i designing (photos to be added later)

I have enjoyed the week, but dam i have been tired, no change to my medication, and not depressed, so i can only take it that the dark evenings are having an effect on me.

Another protect completed

  Another project completed this week I was, taking impression with clay of everyday objects. Then using plaster to get the relieve impression.. I then placed the impression on rods and secured then to a wood bases… I like the way they have come out on my photos 
  

Silver Suz

I’ve been quiet this week, but busy..
This week one of my project was casting a pewter sculptor. 

Taking wax I modelled it in to the shape I required 

I then encased it in plaster.
Melted the wax.
