It turned out like this because the texture of the clay wasn't smooth enough.. lots of mini bubbles caused the wave to have a sandpaper-like feel. It doesn't stop there though.. tonight I'm going to cast it in Jelly and see if thats more effective..

| heres how it turned out |
The only good points I took from making the wave really were that I learned a new skill, and the underneath of the cast really actually did remind me of the underneath of the wave- especially when you held it up to a light source.
One of the artists that really inspired me to make a piece like this was Tara Donavan.
Tara Donovan’s sculptures are born of everyday materials such as scotch tape, drinking straws, paper plates, and Styrofoam cups. Donovan takes these materials and “grows” them through accumulation. The results are large-scale abstract floor and wall works suggestive of landscapes, clouds, cellular structures and even mold or fungus. She considers patterning, configuration, and the play of light when determining the structure of her works but the final form evolves from the innate properties and structures of the material itself. In her words, “it is not like I’m trying to simulate nature. It’s more of a mimicking of the way of nature, the way things actually grow.”
This piece especially had an impact on me.
This piece called 'transplanted' is made out of ripped and stacked tar paper. The result is this ocean like piece which in my opinion shows movement very effectively...Here is another version of the same idea, Made 2 years later.
Todays plan :-
- Make Jelly mould
- Make wood cut of the shine on the water
- Go to Mystery halloween ball, Woop!
- Amy x
Halloween - Thought I'd throw this up on my blog, seeing as I took a slightly more artistic approach to my costume

| I was a tin woman incase your wondering.. Most of this is made of cardboard. |
Okay so I made that jelly mould and it just collapsed the second I tried to do anything with it.
