Artist's Comments
Second sculpture for my Monsters class. This one's also a wire armature wrapped in cloth, but this time I covered it in paper-clay (a really cool air-hardening clay made from volcanic ash) and painted it with acrylic. The gauze bandages are, well...gauze bandages. The intestines, however, are red yarn dipped in a latex solution.
The assignment was to make something dealing with the theme "beauty and repulsion"...we had the option to make two creatures, one beautiful and one repulsive, or we could try to integrate the two concepts into one. That's what I wanted to do, so I picked a form I thought was beautiful (a deer) and added both beautiful (the serene moon face) and repulsive (blood, gore) features. A lot of people said it reminded them of the forest spirit in Princess Mononoke, which I wasn't actually thinking about...but if you want to read it that way, then this is "Princess Mononoke meets Silent Hill" or something. My girlfriend (who loves this and has claimed it as her own) says I'm in my "red and white" period...I honestly didn't realize how much I like those colors together. But if you look at this with my other sculptures, Coccoon and Baby's Breath, I think they all live in the same color world. |

Where do you go to school, if you don't mind me asking? That sounds like an amazing class.

Oh remember in your narrowing dark hours

I'm looking at schools to transfer to, so that was really helpful.
Wonderful work!
