1. I chose to do my sculpture the way that I did because I was very interested with Tuttle's wire sculptures. I decided that wire was going to be the main material I used and with it I made wavy lines that branch out from an object made from tinfoil and then connect to various parts of the base of the piece which is made from cardboard. I then decided to paint the base red and frost the top of the tinfoil red as well to add some color because the wire and foil are such bleak colors. And lastly I decided to hang it directly to the wall so that the wires and foil could project shadows on the base.
2. For my second weekly sculpture I wanted to continue experimenting with the wire in a similar fashion as Tuttle had. I really enjoy the tension that wire creates in sculptures. You can make an object suspend in air when it looks like it shouldn't. For this piece I suspended a wire circle off the wall about 6 inches and then made two long wire pieces that look like they are coming out of the center and extending to the wall. I chose to only use wire for this sculpture because I like the simplicity of it.
3. For this third sculpture I wanted to make something that had a connection between the art and the workspace where we create this art. For this piece I took a chunk of the cardboard that covered our work table and fashioned a box out of it. I chose to make a box just because I wanted for it to be a three dimensional object.
4. For my fourth sculpture I wanted to incorporate my sculpture from our previous molding project. my process was I took two long pieces of wire and twisted them tightly together to make the base. I then took smaller pieces of wire and twisted them to each side and kept alternating that until I had what was basically a cage around my plaster skull.
5. For my fifth sculpture I wanted to make it look like there was something floating with no support. This was tough to do but for my process I took a piece of styrofoam that could stand by itself and cut a design into it. I then used a piece of wire to suspend a ball of aluminum foil in the open part of the design. I wish I could have found a way to suspend it without seeing the wire but I still liked the outcome.
6. For my sixth sculpture I decided to use more foam and create what ended up basically a game of jenga. What made this interesting though was that I ran a piece of wire through every small piece of foam so that they could not actually fall over.
7. For my seventh weekly sculpture I decided to step away from the tuttle approach and decided to try and sculpt a face onto one of my plaster skulls with clay. This also contributed to one of my other sculptures as well.
8. For my eighth sculpture I used the same one as my seventh but after it had dried and cracked all over the face. I then removed some of the pieces on half of the face to reveal the skull that was underneath.
9. For my ninth sculpture I wanted to use clay one last time because I just liked how it hardens after it drys. I took a piece of clay and formed it into a tree like shape and then took small pieces of wire and stuck them in different parts of the clay to make them look like hairs.
10. For my tenth sculpture I went back to making sculptures similar to Tuttles with the wire. I made to box shapes with the wire on the wall and then I Made smaller trails of wire coming off of these boxes. The end result was what looked like a circuit board or a lightning storm.
11. For my eleventh sculpture I also used more wire like Tuttle and I suspended them off the of the wall in a way where they looked like they were almost trying to grab you as you walk by it.
12. For my last weekly sculpture I twisted two pieces of wire together braiding small pieces of foam into the shape. It ended up looking like a necklace.
