Drawing in space

In my sculpture you can see variety in the sizes of loops with some being small and some being large. You can also see variety in the formation in my sculpture. Parts of my sculpture have tight overlapping reeds and others are more open but are still encompassing space. For my area of emphasis I have taken extra cuts of reeds and lined them across two loops connecting them like a ribcage. This shows that this part of my sculpture has the most going on while still maintaining organization.

I know now, like what Stephan White showed with his light sculptures, that you don’t need a plan before beginning a project. When constructing my sculpture I made it up as I went and it worked out fine in the end. Also, I didn’t know before that having some requirements made it easier because it gave me guidelines to point me in the right direction to create a good sculpture. If I didn’t have any requirements I wouldn’t know what to do because my mind would be too overwhelmed with possibilities and I wouldn’t be able to create something I liked. One last thing, I know now that sculptures can be intricate and can contain varying characteristics. For example, Martin Puryear’s giant sculpture looked like a solid boulder from afar but when you got closer it became see-through revealing it’s complex skeletal structure.
