Observational Wire Sculpture

Title: Da Wotta Botta

One of the main ideas that guided my work was to try to do something simple but get it done well. I also wanted to do something that I could make life sized. Something that i was trying to figure out while making this was all the different shapes that are in the objects around us.

I made this sculpture of my water bottle using wire and pliers to sculpt and move the wire to the way I want it. To connect the wires I made hooks and then tightened them on to each other.

Something that was a bit frustrating about this process was practicing the connections of the wire and figuring out the right sizes of the circles and straights. Another thing that was difficult was trying to make it straight and not lopsided.
