Last week we focused on finding a form. I started with Flora, and built from there, going with a gut instinct sort of plan, that was sort of haphazard and only half-worked. But, none-the-less, we go on. I ended up landing on the form of my mother's jawbone, as it relates Flora and me together. I've started some sculptures trying to understand the attraction I have to this form. It has brought me full circle back to floral patterns (sort of where I started), as well as experimenting with hard vs. soft, rough vs. plush. The sculptures I have started are generally wire, or glass based, with a covering of silk, thread, orange peel, or another plushier texture stretched across the base. I don't have any photos of these up yet, because my camara died (so sad). But, I did include the gathering photos that are assisting me. I find I am interested in the one solid-ish graphic line that is supposed to denote an edge of something edgeless, something that is round, soft, and fleshy - like florals or flesh. I've been working on some drawings, I'll put those up next week too, as they arent quite there yet. I will be visiting the Uffizi and the floral wax museum to do some sketching this week and weekend. I also am planning on attending La Specola. It's all a big whirlwind of these scientific-y analysis of organic materials. I feel it tugging somewhere, I'm just not where sure yet.
Ciao ciao.
