Phase one

My 3 materials are Soft sculpture, Chicken wire, and Plaster. 



First thoughts and ideas 


I want to explore soft sculpture, I was playing around with burlap and yarn and made somewhat of a rug I want to continue to do this but A larger one with a meaning. I want to make a human rug so it will be the shape of a human and have human colors. I wanted to be like a joke like a animal rug but a human rug. I also wanted to make a cow chart and a human chart and put them next to each other to show there's no difference only in shape. I want to do this by getting fabric and then embroidering or stitching on it to outline  the cow and human and body parts


I also want to make hanging meat out of different fabrics, ropes, etc. I want to hang them out a decorative wall piece. Basically showing how meat is glorified.  

With plaster I want to combined it with my chicken wire someway. Either by making little animals out of the plaster or other things in the plaster to then put behind the chicken wire as a cage. I would also like to explore making animal skulls and or bones with the plaster, I think the plaster would be good because it is white and can resemble bone. Maybe even putting the bones inside of one of my chicken wire animals representing what's left.










With chicken wire I want to figure out how to layer it and fold it better. I've been watching a lot of videos on how they form things. 

working on being more poetic ....
