Photographs 1-3 depict my first attempt at painting the feminist messages on the high striker. I used the same 3D paint I used for the clock face for the sculpture, Duration, but in different colours. Even though I had painted the clock face onto cartridge paper in Dur...
Photographs 1-2 show the sanding process of the supports. Because of the angle of the supports, I carved the drips so that they were also at an angle to follow the line of gravity.
In order to secure the high striker we had to make two supports. We made these out of pine wood, to fit in with the rest of the wood/sculpture; and cut each at appropriate angles that would fix neatly onto the sculpted/melting surface on the back and the plywood on the...
I began sculpting the splash on the top end of the high striker plank by first using a jigsaw to cut out the outline of the splash. Using the hammer and chisel I was then able to take away the bulk of the wood, all the while remaining careful not to knock off the tips...
Photographs 1-3 depict the rough cut outs of the blocks of pine wood that are going to be used for the sides of the lever contraption. They have been cut in this way to resemble the motion of melting, on which I will carve drips to create a melting effect.
After finalising the construction design laid out in the sketches (in the previous blogpost), the next day I began sculpting. I started working on the high striker plank first because it was going to be the largest area that would require more carving and sanding. For...
The first sketch shows the initial idea for the construction of the whole sculpture, the following three sketches depict ideas for the construction of the lever. At first I began designing boxes to house the lever and a plunger. The reason for housi...
For the final collaborative stall, Anne (ValleyKids) and I thought of making a carousel that could depict images of artworks that are at Tate Modern. The activity would be for participants to find these artworks within the collection, then come back to the carousel to...
