Balsawood project

My first sculpture represents repetition. How this was achieved was using the big plank of wood holes were drilled in and then by using the scroll saw the holes that were drilled were cut out from the plank. By sanding then down it created a smoother surface along with creating in a circle shape if some places jutted out. To add to the wooden circles many masking tape circles were created. In my second sculpture it represents Pattern. I started out with the weaving of the bottom and it was a basket at the beginning but after awhile it morphed into a holder of sorts where different forms come out. The forms that come out are differently shaped and along with it are packing tape forms and used as the holder of the sculpture.

Symbolic of life, hair bolts from our head. Like the earth, it can be harvested, but it will rise again. We can change its color and texture when the mood strikes us, but in time it will return to its original form, just as Nature will in time turn our precisely laid out cities into a weed way. - Diane Ackerman Artist statement: This picture shows that the hair is the same as the environment around us and that everything is alive and living. THough our hair we don't think is the most important to keep up it is alive and grows and dies. When our hair falls that hair is at the end of its life line. Here it is shown that the hair is transforming to the nature around. Touch allows us to find our way in the world in the darkness or in other circumstances where we cant fully use our other senses. - Diane Ackerman Artist statement: In this drawing, though it might seem a little creepy, it shows how that without the sight of our eyes other types of senses come
