Reflection Statement:
My intent was to visually communicate emphasis on three separate elements and principles of art: negative space (the tall wooden sculpture), repetition (the rectangular sculpture baring wooden dowels), and focal point (the suspended red gel medium piece). I wanted to primarily focus on how I could transform each individual sculpture in a way that was pleasing to the eye both separately and together. I decided to include a more advanced wood shop piece because I wanted to challenge myself with something I had never tried before. On that note, The piece that holds the wooden dowels was thrown away and redone three separate times, so the last-minute nature of that sculpture, in particular, was where my work was lacking. I want to keep exploring the wood shop, as I believe, while it’s tough, having that experience is rewarding. In making this sculpture collection, I pushed myself to think outside of the box and remind myself to not be afraid of using inspiration to spin my own designs.
