More Ideas (Sculpture 4)

I decided to do a series of portraits.  I want to keep them simple with form and make the wiring outlines of faces from different angles.  But I would like to have at least one portrait look better than the others, like more reformed if you will.  With that being said, I think I would need a head of a manniquin at one point to help me sculpt this more detailed or reformed head.  Maybe this will be the focal point of the whole series.  However, I don't want to take this series too seriously.  Meaning I don't want the portraits to be perfect when it comes to portions and where everything should be and look like on the face.  I'm going to give my audience a little more credit in figuring out what is going on.  I want to approach this project freely that way I can be able to produce as much as possible by May.  I'm not going to set a goal of how many I want by then because that just adds pressure so I'm going to do as many as I can in class and outside on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  On tuesday I was able to do two simple portrait outlines so I'm guessing when I go for the more detailed and complicated one it will take a bit longer than one day or class period to do it.

Sculpture 4

I can always appreciate simplicity of form and I enjoyed how simple the form of this person self-portrait wire sculpture.  I wonder if it is at all identical to the actual sculptors face.

This is an interesting wiring sculputre because I'm intrigued by the structure of the face, neck and upper body of the person.  I feel that it is flat when it comes to form giving it a 2-Dimensionality from the side view but the frontal appears to be 3-Dimensional.  Maybe because the presentation of it against the white wall gives the person more depth.

I like the presentation of this outline of the subjects profile against a white canvas.  The shadows is like an echo of the image and I think the approach of this work is well done.  I feel like it is symbolic of a drawing or painting onto a canvas by the wiring being coming out from the edges of it.  The connection is brilliant whether than having the wiring flotating in front of the white canvas or just having it on a white wall.

These 3 wiring sculptures of faces give me a sense of direction for my final project due in May.  I want to do something along the lines of a self-portrait or a series of profiles of myself and/or family members.  I would like to go personal and I like the idea of having the presentation of the wirings connected to on canvases because I think the effect would be tremendous.
