Sydney Knight, Student Work, Response to the book Natural History of The Senses

The student work below was made for a relief sculpture assignment. 

The Experimental Sculpture Collection is not a relief sculpture assignment. For this assignment, students are asked to make free-standing, three dimensional forms. 

The materials the student used below are masking tape, gel medium, trace paper and string. Good examples for the Experimental Sculpture Assignment.

Remy Sarney, Student Work, Response to the book Natural History of The Senses

 

Artist Statement:

I read the chapter "Food and Sex" from the book Natural History of the Senses by Diane Ackerman. She describes in this chapter how society aligns body parts with food, extending the concept of sensual pleasure to all the senses. Also included in envy and desire, for both the body and the palette. I visually communicate these concepts with a silhouette of the human body and actual food items. After the presentation of the artwork, I served the food to the audience.
