Pictures from a Previous Visit to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park

In looking at these pictures of the sculptures, ideas have been more developed as to use typography as a structure, to give the end result a base, to make the sculpture surreal and to maybe look at themes within the meaning of the sculpture.

Seeking Inspiraton

From looking through a few books ('Type Idea Index'-Jim Krause, 'Direct Metal Sculpture' - Dona Z. Meilach, and 'Sculpting In Wire' - Cathy Miles) I gathered plenty of ideas to use metal and create a 3 dimensional sculpture by using a metal frame of perhaps an animal or an inspiration structure in order to be filled with different other kind of materials to represent the colour and the light. Starting today I crated a bird like frame which finished off half 3D and 2D. A picture was taken of it in front of a natural coloured background to represent what the colours may be on the bird itself.

New Project

A new essential live project has been assigned in which a sculptural piece of art is to be constructed and presented in Tapton Grove Nursing Home's soon to be renovated courtyard. First off thoughts were written down on paper as a spidergram form to show thought processes of certain subjects in which the project entailed.
