Sculpture 2

 

Through this piece I wanted to explore how I could make nature and landscapes more simplistic, geometric, and abstract. My vision for this piece was to use the plaster on top of the foam pieces to help create flow and movement in the piece. I wanted to use color to help enhance and better show what the piece was. However I believe my preference of more realistic art got in the way of this piece reaching its full ability. There are a few things I would change about this piece. First off I would have been happier if I could have spent more time in the plaster and truly build up the plaster and the movement within the plaster. Second I would have like to have created a more stable piece that connected better. Lastly, I would have left the piece without color. I believe this would have let the piece be more abstract and let the viewer ponder what it was exactly that they were looking at. Similarly, I believe the colors only muddy the sculpture and make it to literal.
