Solids




The top images are wip's that are combining the foam together to make a more solid rather than a plane or line. I then imitated the figure onto the square foam pieces to make a outline to have help when sculpting my peaces for assembly.




The four images show the 3-D object in the round with various shadows and angles that I feel make the image very interesting. The shadows the come from the different shapes that are hidden in the work make very pleasing object to look at. I love the contrast in size between the large object falling over vs. the small object keeping everything tied down. I ended up using rocks and some change to help keep the object from toppling over due to the drastic difference in size that i would say is the hardest thing for me to accomplish. Making sure it was not too heavy and that it looks like nothing is inside the smaller object was a huge success in my opinion and I am very happy with how this image turned out!
This is the second work through of the solids project focused on the surface quality more than anything. I decided to keep the same design due to the fact that even though it is slightly linear in one viewpoint I believe it was interesting enough in the round to not change the design. Like I stated the surface quality was the biggest draw back from the first assignment. Though everything was smooth and for the most part the same surface quality I decided to take a more stone/marble look for the final product which was more of the look I originally wanted to go for. I ran into a problem during the connection part, during that one side of the object looks to be one full object which is a easy fix. Taking a file to the one side would be able to extenuate the connection on the two object for a more dynamic look. Another issue I ran in to us the weight distribution. The way I orientated the larger object kept making the sculpture tip over. To help counter balance this the smaller object that is suspended on the middle object has 4 rocks set into the object to balance out the sculpture. Overall reworking this design was a good idea, it came out almost exactly how I pictured it to come out like.
