Practice 1A: 3D Rotation Plaster Workshop

T

 Tights

Sarah Lucas "Ordinary Things" NUD 19' (2009)
Tights, fluff, wire, breeze-blocks, MDF plinth

I took influence from Sarah Lucas's tight sculptures
she creates intricate sculptures of stuffed tights.

Working with plaster I became interesting in combining
soft, delicate materials with hard, rough materials,
to make them more defined and capture a definite shape

I filled tights with plaster and let them set, it was interesting to see individual creases form and take place, it was an interesting test as I did not know what the result would be.

In this piece (Above) parts have sunk in or cracked, which adds dept
the stitch line at the end is an interesting aspect as it serves as a reminder
of the original material and it's purpose.
