Paper Sculpture

Artist Statement

Independence

My feeling for the semester was Independence. I used one sheet of white paper to make a tunnel with flared edges on one end and a little swirly piece of paper inside. One side of the paper is more open and exposed than the other and the swirly paper inside is crawling toward the more open end. I also wanted to add more detail and use the paper so I cut a strip into the top and some strips at the bottom to look like a leading road. The sculpture represents how this semester I've felt more freedom and it goes from a more constrained/protected side to a more independent one. I get to make more choices for myself and am allowed to do more. I like the idea of my project, but I think it would've been better smaller and I want to add more detail.
