I have not quite finished attaching the final eyes to the wire frames, and I hope to finish that this week. All of the following pictures are in chronological order! This was the material I first started with: Continuous contour line drawings I used for inspiration/reference: This was the first wire face I made: Wire faces I made over the following weeks: Here are some detail shots of one of my favorite wire frames: An example of the process of making one of the wire sculptures: This is an example of the a completed wire sculpture (the same one that the detail shots above come from): Last week, during a fire drill I decided to get started on taking the pictures of eyes to attach to the wire frames. Here are all the pictures of eyes that I used: I printed the eye images out last week to all be on bristol paper and about 4 inches by 3 inches. I would cut out the eye images, glue the matching ones, and then laminate them. I have not completely finished my sculpture yet but I will be sure to add a new post when I have finished attaching the wire frames to a new hula hoop.
But for now, this is my artist statement: basically, this sculpture features wire frames, all a bit different, with different eyes attached to the frame. I wanted to experiment, like I did with my abstract expressionist painting, with organic and inorganic. Instead of texture, I decided to go in the a more literal sense and paired wire frames with the "organic" nature of eyes. The final sculpture is supposed to be a representation of how even though we're all made from the same stuff (the "inorganic" parts, even though in real life they're organic but they're all made from the same chemical compounds and same structures), each one of us has a unique take on the "frame" of the human body and our faces are all distinctly our own.
