Sculpture to help with the image blending
For my final images I have created a sculpture that should inventory help make my I mages have more depth and interest. This sculpture is made from broken wood bringing in this running theme of industrialization and how everything is getting refurbished and we just have all this left over building materials. My intentions for this sculpture that it was meant to reflect a head and have the shape so that it will blend effortlessly into my images. This wooden shape will also show the confusion of industrialization tho humans and how in effects key feature of there life such as there identity's and place of origin. The sculpture was made using off cuts of wood glues together with a hot glue gun. The sculpture is about the relative size of a head so should create a realist blend. I am thinking of blending a combination of these images to together with one image of a face to show how mentally changeling change can be to a persons identity of there residence ( where they live). I also really like the idea of combining different kinds of media e.g sculptural and pictures I feel like it creates depth and a more interesting story to the photo because you can look at the image and see the whole work process behind it. Also adding a different rages of media lets be be more creative and it then can show through my final images.
The artists work that I took inspiration for this work from was Henry Moors work is all made from wood and created human forms through his work.
As a young artist, Moore was attracted to the principles of ‘direct carving’ and ‘truth to material’ which had inspired the great pioneers of modern sculpture, who in turn had been influenced by the work of masters from ancient civilizations on view in ethnographic displays across Europe. In his early career Moore adopted these principles uncompromisingly, creating quite experimental and innovative work in materials ranging from indigenous stones to exotic woods, a choice which declared his distance from the use of white marble typical of a tradition he was keen to reject.
After the Second World War Moore softened his position, to reflect his new belief that it was the idea, rather than the technique, that really mattered in art. Yet, while for many years modelling in plaster or clay and casting in bronze was his preferred method to make new work, he never completely relinquished carving. Having acquired a house near the famous Carrara quarries in Tuscany, from the early 1960s Moore took to work in marble and adopted more universal and timeless subjects, positioning himself within the great tradition of European humanism epitomized by one of his favorite artists, Michelangelo.
