This week it is my goal to distill the form that so attracts me in the Ognissanti sculpture. In class, after comparing similar pairings in other artworks, we decided that my form is a collision. A messy, smushed collision of two bodies. I'm working sculpturally, using white clay sketches to get to the gut of the sculpture. Since the piece resonates in my shoulders and abs, I think of the form as round, almost like a series of disks. Hopefully I'll find a way that they fit together that captures the pit in my stomach or the force of my fists smushing together. I think of the collision as slightly painful.
