Industrial Vs. Organic Sculpture
Untitled. 27.5 cm by 8 cm. Nails 4 cm
Clay with nails (Glued together and loosely placed)
My initial artist inspiration for the industrial vs organic piece was Curtis Jere. This use of delicate sculpture is exemplified in my work compared to the piece I was inspired by. I found his work at a website where fine furniture is sold. I was also inspired by the Saint Paul Bust by Domenico Guidi, and this made me used the cloth like look in my piece. This added the organic feel. Then I added nails to make it seem like the organic is producing the inorganic, which is like people and industrialization. A success I had with this piece was the nail aspect of the work, but a struggle was forming the clay organic creature which took me some time to make.
