Experimental Sculptures

-



Experimental Sculpture Collection.

This collection consists of three paper sculptures: repetitive swirl (left), Negative frame (center), and abstract spiral (right).




Repetitive spiral, this sculpture had to communicate repetition seen through the multitude of rolled paper, creating the spiral effect.  This sculpture was constructed using mixed media paper, tacky glue, tape, and gesso paint. The repetitive spiral stands at just over 12 inches tall by 7 inches wide, due to its abstract nature and organic shape; all measurements vary. 



Negative frame, designed with abstract negative space in mind. This piece uses a recycled wooden frame and floral wire to create a non-representational sculpture. Other materials used in this piece include glue and tape. The dimensions of this piece are 12 x 9 x 3/4".




Abstract Spiral, created with the concept focal point in mind. This piece was created with mixed media paper, glue, and tape. It features a spiral paper structure, constructed through multiple paper layers adhered together to create one sole spiral structure. This was then placed on a split frame to stretch and create an expanded structure. The dimensions for this abstract spiral are approximately 10 x 11 x 7 inches.

Reflection:
The experimental sculpture collection focused on bringing three non-representational sculptures to life while using elements and principles of design. This project challenged thinking and design through the use of simple materials in innovative and curious ways. While exploring materials in this project, I wanted to focus on bringing our objectives to life, which included repetition, negative space, and focal point. Overall, this set of sculptures was a challenging project that I wished I had dived into more creatively.

 Trenton Doyle Handcock https://art21.org/watch/extended-play/trenton-doyle-hancock-the-former-and-the-ladder-or-ascension-and-a-cinchin-short/ Two words I would use to describe this art would be: time capsule and collage. This piece uses elements of line, color, and texture. Elements of color and texture are found throughout Trenton's piece, seen in aspects of different collage pieces throughout his life. The element of line is brought in with the heavy black ladder in the center and in other elements, such as the pencil and the character's legs. https://nazariancurcio.com/artworks/1592-trenton-doyle-hancock-the-former-and-the-ladder-ascension-and-a-2012/ https://nazariancurcio.com/artists/33-trenton-doyle-hancock/ This piece, also created by Trenton Doyle Hancock, is named Good Grief, Bad Grief.  Elements used within this piece would be emphasis and color. The emphasis comes through with the use of color. I believe that the viewer's eyes fall first on the sorrowful charac...
