Owl Wire Sculpture

Owl Wire Sculpture

Elena, Year 10

Our Lady of the Sacred Heart College, Bentleigh

This work is inspired by Alexander Calder who is widely regarded as the artist who made sculpture move, forging a practice in dialogue with the world in motion and the motion in things. His radical methods of making art – understood both technically and conceptually – changed the course of modern art. Students depicted their own themes through the exploration of wire, producing abstract moving sculptures that are mobile to the air currents in the surrounding environment.
