This project was focused on sculpture and all about considering how things are connected and what does it mean.
Starting off with salvaged objects, we began to think about what it was, its history and what it could become. Initially I was stuck at this point as sculpture is not my specialism and I didn't know how these two objects could work together, however I soon discovered the next stage.
This is just one example of the three I made for the series, however I feel this best shows the connection of the wire spiral with the plant pot. It was the most successful piece I created as I experimented with placing the wire in many different places before choosing its final place. By twisting and manipulating the wire, it creates really interesting shapes and forms that change when you view it from different angles, and this helps the audience to question how it is connected. As a development it would be good to place this sculpture in a white room and cast different lights at it to see how different shadows are formed. I felt that by keeping the sculpture the 'terracotta' colour, it was still being viewed as a plant pot, at which point I decided to paint it white and I feel this gives the audience a whole new perspective when looking at it.
