I finally finished the piece! To be honest, it didn't even take me that long since I already knew what steps I had to follow and didn't need to do much experimenting (unlike last summer). I kind of really like the final piece, and I feel like it'll look really cool hung up! Making this piece definitely reminded me of what I was making art about last year with the first sculpture of this type, and I feel like moving forward I have a lot more content to add in relation to the theme of familiarity and memories especially as a result of my experience with this whole pandemic. I'm okay with the composition of the piece, I think some things ended up looking a lot different than I thought they would (like the stairs) but overall I'm not mad at it. I wish the depth of the piece was better captured on camera, and my sister suggested adding light watercolor grey shadows to emphasize the depth of some areas, but I'm not sure if I want to go on top of the texture and try and add shading since it feels kinda risky to me. I also like how the piece kinda looks heavy (it is) because I feel like that almost adds something content wise. I do need to work on my artist's statement still- I feel like I know what I'm talking about more but I just have such a hard time putting it into words. Anyways, here's the final piece! It's 23"x30".
