This project is all about the LINE. I must create 8 small 3D studies of line sculptures, 4 using volume and the other 4 “activating space.” Then out of these 8 studies, I must pick the best and make a much larger version with whatever material I choose.
In the beginning of my design process, I started by playing around with some magnetic toys to get my mind used to seeing lines in 3D. Though fun, these were a bit hard to maneuver and get too creative with. Little did I know what I liked even LESS was what I tried next.. wire. Not only did my pieces start coming out sloppy and bent but my fingers became extremely sore and greasy.
I later decided to go for a different strategy… Popsicle sticks and a hot-glue gun. I found this was a much easier way for me to get creative without getting too sloppy or sore. My inspiration for this first piece came from the artist Nils Udo who was known for his giant nest earth structures. His work can be seen on my previous post. As I began to layer the sticks, I decided to keep layering and layering until the nest turned into a more 3 dimensional vessel with a volume inside.
