My wire ribcage
I struggled a lot with creating this as I did not have the materials necessary to create what was in my mind but I managed to create something somewhat successful.
Wire Project (Object)
This project gave me a lot of trouble as I’d never worked with such a tough and hard to manipulate medium. The thinking was not the challenging part, but trying to get the wire to twist as tightly as I wanted it to was. I failed again and again to do what I wanted with it, unhappy with how untidy my work was. I finally decided to just try a more abstract approach and let the wire do what it wanted, documenting and planning as I went. Even though my final result is simple, I really enjoy the simple, silly and lighthearted piece I landed on when I followed the wire’s natural goofy bends and swoops.
