Sculpture Video Clip 1

This is the first video post of my sculpture in progress, although it's changed a bit since this stage. There has been some reworking of the form, so much of the color is being reworked too. I'll post more videos as interesting changes happen.

Building Sculpture Progress

Some in progress photos here of my Building sculpture. After realizing this would also be a subtractive process as well as additive, I decided to take a claw hammer and rip off some of the metal objects that were giving my Dremel some trouble. There were some Smashed up Diet Coke cans and a couple other odd shaped things buried under many layers of paint that had to go. Kind of forgot what was actually under there as I had done the initial stages in a more spontaneous fashion. I’m reworking some areas using cardboard, wood and putty. I think the form itself needs a lot more love. The first concept was to have the paint and color make sense of the form after the fact. That game has been abandoned. I think it’s going to be much better this way.
