For my first in-class project of the year, I wanted to continue with the sculpture idea I was working on over the summer. Instead of figuring out the paper clay, I bought a material that seemed similar at the arts supply store and experimented with it. Surprisingly, it was exactly what I wanted! You mix it with water, and the texture is almost soft-looking while the material is still lightweight and dries hard. Right now, I've been working on creating the wire armature for the piece. I want to create 3 pieces to be displayed together, and even though the first piece took me a while to plan out, I think the later iterations are just going to be different combinations of the architectural elements I used in the first one, so they shouldn't take too long. My process is create the wire structure, cover it in strips of plaster to give it strength, and then coat it in the "fuzzy" material. I'm still not sure If i want to cover the inside of the piece, or leave the wire structure a little exposed.
