New Materials.....

For the sculpture pieces themselves, I wanted to experiment with other materials that I could stretch over the wire. I like the way the tights as a material stretch and created form so I wanted something similar. I made sheets of latex on glass. I wanted a skin like effect, that the stretch of the latex would imitate the stretches in the body as it moves. Below is an attempt to stretch them into forms over wire.

 

I added wax pigment to one of the sheets, It gives the effect of spices that i wanted. The darker colour sheet, I added acrylic paint to experiment with getting a block colour. I would like to work more with latex and getting surface effects.
