Plaster & Foam

 Sketches Process Work Final Result Artist Statement The process for this project began with sketches. After playing around I remembered a technique that is used in packaging design to create rigid box structures where you do not fully cut the material and it allows you to create curves and corners. With this technique in mind, the sketches shifted into pieces that utilize this technique. As I kept sketching, I decided on a design that was inspired by a squid. Using a sharpie, I traced the shapes that I wanted onto foam and cut it out using a box cutter. I then used a drill with a sanding attachment to help clean up the edges of the foam.

The model was on their hands and knees which acts as a way to further express the idea of the pain of loneliness and how it can defeat you.
