Up until now, I have been a staunchly 2D artist. But after my ecorche anatomy course, I am starting to get an itch to translate my images into 3D materials. There is nothing as satisfying as working on a project for a while and then ending up with a thing you can grasp in your hands.
I don’t quite know yet what I want to do, but these materials are tugging at me, with their unique kinds of beauty and personalities:
- porcelain – translucency, whiteness, delicacy and strength
- wood – warmth, capacity for curve, the energy of a lifetime stored within it
- marble – grain, strength, light emanating from within
- glass – solid liquid paradox and tactility
- silver and brass – sun and moon, expressed as metal
But for now, I am circling around a packet of paper clay.
