For this week, I focused only on sculpture! That meant absolutely no painting -- aside from painting the edges of some of the sculptures. I started with mimicking the work I've been making for independent study. I felt I needed to start in a place where I was already feeling most creative to get me into the groove. It worked! I mixed air dry porcelain with leftover shredded yarn and kneaded them together to create these tiny animorphic sculptures. I dipped the first few in watered down ink before they dried completely and it created a really nice reddish-brown hue. It was really important to me to make things that still resonated with my paintings and I feel as though the colors in these do that.
Past Work Current Work For this week, I decided to re-photograph all of my previous pieces in a normal setting. I used natural light on the patio but rigged a little "photo booth" area where I can get the most open space/light. I had to tweak the lighting a bit in order to ensure that I got the most vibrancy in the photos. Definitely liking the direction I've chosen to go. Of course, I do miss painting but these little pieces are so satisfying that they make up for it. I'll more than likely make some paintings on the side to boost my creative process.
