Reflection Statement
When working on these three sculptures I found that they all felt very meditational and I feel that idea is communicated, I found that in an odd way they all felt very "human" to me. I have never really worked in 3D before so I wanted to experiment with a wide variety of different materials so that I might learn what I like best. As someone who likes to plan their work ahead and have a concept I really struggled at first, I wanted my pieces to be representational but that wasn't the goal of the assignment so I found myself getting frustrated. Once I started letting the material tell me what it wanted to do I was able to find a rhythm in my creating. This project taught me to be more loose with my work and to take things as they come. In my drawings I tend to be a perfectionist so even though this assignment was in 3D I hope I can take that as a lesson for all of my art in the future, to learn to let loose and be kinder to myself in my creative process.
