Decay
Overview
Project: Mass and Void
This is class work
The purpose of this project was to create two related sculptures that represented "mass" and "void". Within a 5x5x5 in space, the sculptures take up about 75% and 25% of that volume.
I used the juxtaposition of simple inorganic shapes and complex organic ones to create an unsettling feeling, to arouse disgust. The sculptures represent the same object at different times. The perfect man-made square rots into valleys and masses of round soft connected shapes held together by a series of cylindrical tubes.
The combination of these elements within each other make the sculptures look unnatural and alien. But, it also resembles living organic material.
Requirements:
- two sculptures
- 5x5x5 inches or smaller
- made out of plaster
- no color
