Reflection Statement:

The non-representational sculpture collection visually communicates the element of line. Through the Glass reveals a pattern with horizontal and vertical lines, Under the Surface is constructed to show negative space using curved lines, and Within the Orbit creates a focal point by means of curved and diagonal lines.

While exploring the materials, I wanted to focus on finding a way to create sculptures that are visually appealing. My primary focus, however, was to allow the sculptures to have a commonality in regard to the materials. Even though the sculptures can be successful standing alone, I wanted the materials to overlap when the sculptures are viewed as a collection. Therefore, wood, masking tape, and ink are used in each sculpture. I decided to include masking tape because I had some remaining from the Masking Tape Shoes assignment at the beginning of the semester. I felt comfortable using this material and felt confident in my ability to utilize it as a formal element in Through the Glass and Under the Surface and as an internal frame in Within the Orbit.

I felt the shape created from wire, gel medium, and tracing paper in Under the Surface was not producing the results I wanted with respect to establishing pattern. That being said, I appreciated the ribs/skeleton look that I made using the wire, so I reassessed my plans and began using this shape as part of my negative space sculpture.

I want to keep exploring wire, gel medium, and tracing paper as I found that constructing forms with these materials was really interesting. I want to learn more about the woodshop since I was a little intimidated by it and didn’t end up incorporating any pieces of wood into my sculptures besides the more easily manipulated balsa wood and wooden dowels. Ultimately, this Experimental Sculpture Collection allowed me to explore how to respond to materials. As someone who typically makes plans and likes to carry them out to completion, the process of creating these pieces enabled me to take risks and stray away from my initial ideas. Making these innovative sculptures exposed me to new ideas such as using ink as a means for adding color and using string in a way that doesn’t make the art look too much like a craft.
