  Hanging hot glue, gel medium, bristol wood, ink, tracing paper 8" x 6" x 5" Not what meets the eye wire, gel medium, ink, tracing paper 12" x 9" x 11" Do you see? 11" x 6" x 8" spray paint, wire, wooden dowels, paper mache, gel medium The sculptures were all inspired by nature and human nature. My intent was to visually communicate things in our everyday lives in an organic way that is not recognizable to the viewers. I wanted to focus on creating these sculptures to be intricate and exciting to look at for an extended period of time.  I decided to include materials that I have not worked with very much to push myself to master something new.

I want to keep exploring these mediums further as I go through my next classes and on my own time. I want to learn more about organic sculpture and how to create things out of the ordinary. These

I want to keep exploring ways to use airdry clay and busts of figures, I hope to be more successful in this area of 3-D. I want to learn more about sculpting with clay in the future to broaden my knowledge. These pieces allowed me to explore a side of art that I normally do not make, although it was a great learning curve for this project. The making of this work exposed new ideas such as the
