At the moment, I have abandoned my first sculpture due to the materials being unable to meet my standards. Now I have all of the necessary clay, wire and wooden mounts and have logged a total of 21.5 hours and gotten into the details. Soon it will be down to fine details and finishing the surface. Some chemicals and a chef's torch will be needed.
Also, I have begun to read indepth analysis of elements that make up the kind of work that I find myself creating. To better what I do as an artist (and if I am to be taken seriously) it is critical that I study art world conventions and conversations surounding:
- The Horror
- The Sublime
- The Post Human
- The Grotesque
- Decay
- The Uncanny
- The Monstrous/Fantastical
Being familiar with these elements will make me more aware of my place in art making and also improve upon my effectiveness as an artist. That is my newest goal in my capstone project.
