Balsa Wood Scupltures
Title: Balsa Wood
Title: The 99 Steps
Principle of Design: movement.
Materials: balsa wood, glue, and ink.
My final sculpture emphasizes on movement because the stair-like-structure moves the viewers eyes along each piece. The stair like structure is a combination of different sections of stair-like-structures placed on top of each other. The stairs were glued together and stacked. Ink or glue was poured onto these pieces. Having these stair-like-structures arranged as so makes for a fresh perspective and new meaning to how one perceives movement in a space. The stairs remain in place but they twist and have a topsy turvy feel to the shape they take on as one piece staked.
Title: Disco Inferno
Principle of Design: balance using repetition.
Materials: masking tape, glue and, black ink.
This final sculpture emphasizes on balance using repetition. The center of the ball was made of masking tape and covered in wood glue. The outside of the ball was covered in masking tape that I created a pattern on. This pattern is repeated with small circular pieces of tape dipped in ink above the pattern I cut out. Together, being manipulated into a circular form there is balance present. The ball sits on its own but has depth to it derived from the patterns attached to its outer layer. Both sides of the ball are the same. A line covers the two sides to piece them together as well as define the two sides. This also shows the balance of the piece.
