How does a sculpture start? For me, it starts with the inner search, “brainstorming”, listening to the inner dialogue, rummaging through the thoughts, ideas, images… picking them up and examining them…. are they good, suitable, interesting, worthwhile, achievable…. what do I want to say and how do I want to say it…..
And slowly, from that soup of chaos a concept starts emerging.
It takes time.
This one started with the framing of the space; ellipses reminiscent of the galaxies:
It need to grow bigger to have presence in the outdoor setting, however the components could not be bigger than my kiln space. Solution: split them in 2 and create a gap:
It means twice as many pieces, but visually more interesting shape. And
the wider ones should be shorter, and narrower ones taller:
It is a good start.
