I want to use this project as an opportunity to develop my knowledge
and understanding of sculpture and to incorporate it as an integral
part of my developing art practice.
Late last semester I produced several micro wax sculptures that I want
to extend upon conceptually, yet physically strip to their essential
forms.
I will use this as a starting point for an entirely new body of work.
Particularly I am interested in creating objects that evoke visceral
emotions in the viewer and that are ancient and contemporary at the
same time.
I will be intensively exploring the relation between form and material.
How simple shifts in process and material can transform and transmute
objects, activating new potential and tensions.
Initially I will be using plaster and later work in bronze
experimenting with as many patinas as possible. I am however open to
introducing new processes and materials.
Currently I am reading about base materialism, classical archaeology,
Lacan’s OBJET (PETIT) a, and informe.
Artists: Hans Bellmer, Louise Bourgeois, Constantin Brancusi, Lucio
Fontana, Eva Hesse, and Piero Manzoni.
