Space Materiality: First Project (Wired African Doll)

When choosing my personal object, my first instinct was to create a wired replica of an african doll from my families origin. I thought since I planned out the figurations of the doll, that the wires would be easy to work with, but to my surprise I had to restart the sculpture three times, and even then I found it difficult to work with. Now that I have “completed” the sculpture three times, I believe that I now have a clearer image as to what is needed in order to officially complete this project. Although I have an idea, my craft work with in the wire department definitely is in need of extra practice. My plan is to spiral/web the head of the doll similar to a spiders web than attach that to a thicker version of the neck. Following that, I would like for the body to have a zig zag affect, similar to my original plan, although I found that it was difficult for my to conduct this procedure which is why I left the empty space. I definitely liked the two toned wiring, but next time I will plan out where I place my wiring more figuratively. unnamed-4 unnamed unnamed-1 unnamed-2 unnamed-3unnamed-5
