Last week I continued my investigation into three
dimensional works. Above is a selection of work from my sketchbook and of
sculptures I have made. I began to explore the idea that how and where I place
the sculptures effects how the viewer perceives them. The original set I made
were placed on the ground with the base of sculptures on the floor however when
I placed them on a wall I changed the plane on which the sculptures are
positioned, the sculptures are no longer grounded by their base but rather by the
edge of the box. I was also able to turn the sculptures upside-down because the
sculptures no longer needed their base to stay upright. I also began to
experiment with different materials. I used different types of plastics to
create reflective and see-through pieces. Creating the sculptures in see-through
material may be very interesting as I can then create the illusion that the viewer
is looking at the sculpture in reverse or from behind. This week I plan to
explore more materials such as ceramics and plaster and I also want to create a
sculpture where the pieces are hanging in the air to again change the space the
sculptures reside in.
