Using fabric I wrapped the PVC to have a better surface to work with (the PVC's slick surface is difficult to work with). I have used armature wire and stuffing to create different forms and weight to the PVC structure.
I began to use thread and skeins of yarn/fabric to explore color and line weight.
I would have liked to photograph this piece in an open field, but it's difficult to transport. i'm going to try anyway, since i need higher quality photos for juries. Any suggestions on transporting this would be helpful.
I feel I could have gone further with changing and transforming the form with using more stuffing. Now i have learned different ways of using material in space, and how some of these materials can work together. I feel this was a necessary step to the learning process.

You have to believe that your Element can fit it and it will! haha the skin came out great really transformed the piece.
ReplyDeleteHAHA, you are right!
DeleteHi Nicole... I know how difficult was this process for you but it works, its visually appealing. The detail of adding color really helps to make it interesting !
ReplyDeleteHey Nicole! I know that you might not be satisfied with the piece, but the outcome is actually interesting. It still has that character of a playground structure. I really like the bumps that you created in the piece, and will love to see more of that in the piece. They create nice shapes!
ReplyDeleteBumps and Curves girl, that's all it needed! haha I'm glad you gave it another shot, it looks totally different, very dynamic and welcoming. Besides the angry wrapping must have been therapeutic! Well done
