Spare time

Small post now, just to show a few other things I have been creating in my spare time.. Not so arty

 

but still fun..







Sorry and the building blocks

1st thing I need to say is sorry I have not been updating a lot lately, one reason has been i have been focused on this project and wanted just to do one post on it rather than heaps, The second reason is i hit rock bottom over Christmas and its been a struggle to get back to normal, whatever normal is.

OK, now back to what I have been doing. I created a number of blocks or bricks and carved different figures into them, The figures represent thoughts and feels at different stages of my illness.



















As i mentioned before i also extruded a silhouette of my head, these I placed around the base of my column(no pun intended). to me this shows the many sides I have and the many faces i have to show in my daily life... All sounds a bit crap and pretentious, but I liked the idea... looking back and if was going to do it again, i would oxide the whole brick rather just the figures. i would also extrude more heads plus i would have liked to places cravings on all visible sides..
