1.) This sculpture utilizes wire, styrofoam, and paint to create an effect of decay and impermanence. Acetone was used to help create the melting effect on the styrofoam, as well as give texture to the paint because it unaffected by the actual acetone. The wire does not serve a structural purpose, but it gives the sculpture a harder more commanding presence when viewing from the front.
2.) The main elements of this vessel were form and texture. In terms of form, this sculpture saves to hang off the wall, and is mainly a decoration piece. The second element texture is used to draw the viewers eye into the sculpture, as it can also be classified as a painting and force them to seek out small details, and the minutiae of the sculpture.This sculpture was also inspired by Yuken Terrya as it is a subtractive sculpture and and very much focuses in the space between pieces of the sculpture, not the sculpture as a whole.
3.) My inspiration for this vessel was the plastic and inorganic materials we use today, and their ability to exist within the environment for a very long time. This sculpture was a running project where, the acetone went were it wanted when applied, I only applied it and allowed it to move freely. I am unsure about the home this sculpture will have. The meaning behind it, is a hope that we can one day break down the toxic waste destroying our planet, and find a way to locate the missing pieces of our society, while also mending its wounds and bruises.
4.) I don't enjoy this sculpture as a finished product, mainly because the issue it represents is not finished, and so the sculpture cannot be finished. The process of creating the sculpture was very fun in that the acetone and styrofoam reaction was fun, and it was interesting to see where the piece finally ended up.
