Ideation:
for the beginning stages of this project I didn’t really know what I wanted to do. I thought back to previous assignments in other classes and remembered a cast of myself that I made. I really liked how it came out and decided I should do it again, but on a smaller scale. I had a couple of drawings, but ended up accidentally throwing them away, however, I truly didn’t need to look at them because I altered so many things while making the actual sculpture.
This project contains elements of nature, one of my main muses. I wanted the viewer to actually stop and take time to smell and appreciate this beautiful planet we are living on. I also really liked the idea of a portal, a look (and smell) into another world. This piece was very fun and experimental, and though I struggled fleshing out an idea, I am happy with how it turned out.
