B.N.S.S exhibition - 2021

Term 1. Second year. Project brief :

Original concept :
A statue with chicken wire armature, coated with plaster dipped materials. The animals within the piece were inspired by Donna Harways Tentacular thinking and others philosophy.
The process :
I then turned to using blender after doing a CNC workshop. This was a more cost efficient way.
Then my laptop broke and I decided to paint the sculpture as I had only a week before the deadline.
This is a sketch in charcoal of the composition.
This was the start of the painting on a 3 x 1 ft canvas. I later switched to finish the painting on procreate using my ipad to ensure I finished in time. The final price is featured at the start of this project. Despite not being my best piece in terms of showing off my skill it does hold a lot of meaning, and my practise developed a lot in this time.
