Experimental Sculptures #1: Waves

This sculpture was inspired by waves. I created it using wood, cut out each of the shapes in the wood shop and attached them with wood glue. I wanted there to be a lot of texture but from the side it look serene. This was probably my favorite sculpture!

Experimental Sculpture #2: Tragedy 

This sculpture was created with balsa wood strips, scrap wood sticks, string, and red paint. The measurements are L 8.5in x W 7in x H 8.5in. One of the balsa wood pieces had red paint on it, I decided to respond to that and used paint to make it look like the paint was dripping off onto the wood.

Experimental Sculpture #3: Through the Window

This sculpture was inspired by stained glass windows. I used tracing paper, balsa wood, and white paint to create this. The measurements are  L 8in x W 3 x H 5.75. I also was very pleased with this sculpture, I think it looks very sleek and cool! In a house this could be a unique room divider.

Reflection Statement

The three sculptures visually communicate organic beings and movement. The waves show the movement and ripples that come with water and can be reflected on our lives. While exploring using the different materials, I wanted focus on using the materials to make skeletons and use other materials to emphasize them. I want to keep exploring ways to reflect this as well as make more sculptures using the wood and tracing paper.
