I am interested in recycling as a theme for my next concentration theme. Essentially I want to sculpt a person out of wiring then cover it with alluminum soda cans. ill cut the cans so then can lay flat and probably use multiple brands of soda cans so as to have a variety of colors. I think teh man will be about a foot tall.
Kinda like this picture but with cans...

A few months ago, a pair of shingles flew off my house during a storm. I thought to myself, "Carl this is convenient and I could really use this." It is a pair of shingles still stuck together in a very cool way, aged and everything. With this I want to make a piece representing Hurricanes and refugees during natural disaster. I wish to capture the emotion behind the destruction of civilization because of nature.

Mental

For my next concentration piece relating to world problems, I am interested in showing mental disorders like schizophrenia through either some kind of symbloism or maybe somehting very straigh-forwward. either way I think i want to sculpt this piece using clay; preferably using TFJ. In order to capture the feelings and emotions of these disorders I will have to do a bit of research.
