Reflection Statement:
- The three sculptures visually communicate different structures in the body that all have major roles in how we live.
- While exploring the materials to build the sculptures, I wanted to focus on stability because each sculpture need to be structurally sound to be able to function.
- I decided to include a minimum amount of color as the main structure is the focus, using color to enhance rather than distract, which was done with everything except Ribs.
- I felt the work was not producing the results I wanted when I was working on the Skin, as in the beginning I wanted to make a structure that seemed to balance from sharp stalactite pieces that later developed into what it is now for a better and more complex structure.
- I want to keep exploring the skeleton and skin process the most as it seems like the most flexible process to make things with.
- I want to learn more about ways to connect sculptures to make a more complex piece.
- The piece allowed me to explore how to create sculptures with a minimum amount of materials
- The making of this work exposed new ideas such as the skeleton and skin process, my favorite idea, while also showing other ways to use tape and glue.
