hmm..



I just finished two more projects, both from the same materials: an inner skeleton made from chicken wire covered with shreds of tissue paper with the help of my favorite things water and glue. my first piece is a series of three human shaped forms. I feel like this can fit in my concentration but I'm not quite sure how yet. The other one i finished today looks kind of like a snake or something but I like it. For future concentrational pieces I am thinking of theme related to recycling, abandoned children, and skitzophrenia.

PS. I broke another one of my old pieces again today. Luckily, it had already been
photographed but seriously.. i break everything I make.

I am now in the process of creating three human forms. they are made out of wire. I chose only to have the head and torso of the three people because, in this instance, the arms and legs may take away from what i am trying to get across. The three chicken wire men are being covered in tissue paper by the means of watered down elmers glue. I am really excited abouthow they will turn out. I just hop they dont break omg!omg!lol!tmi!pvgga!lol!ttly!ttyl!np!btw!

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.
