Exploded
Process
My visual language is small, handheld sized, figurative sculptures constructed from fabric. They are very tactile objects yet few people ever get to touch them. So I want to explore how I can communicate the making process and the physicality of the materials.
Below are a series of photographs and diagrams from a piece titled ‘Distain of Youth’.
'Unimpressed subject'
Reference photos of two poses for pair of sculptures
'A handful of pattern pieces'
All the 2D pattern pieces needed to make a 3D sculpture
'Many Maquettes'
Three maquettes needed to perfect the poses
'Evolution of the backside'
Such subtle alterations needed to the patterns
'Cobbled together'
Sewn together from swatches and scraps
