Reflection Statement

These three sculptures were inspired by stained glass windows and I wanted them to communicate the feeling of something dark yet whimsical. I wanted each one to represent either a component of stained glass windows or their relationship to each other. 

While the materials I wanted to focus one making the sculptures unique but I knew I wanted them o be part of a series so i tried to use the materials to make them look cohesive. I also wanted to try manipulating the materials into organic shapes for the most part. 

I decided to include a wide variety of materials in order to give each piece its own texture and feeling as well as to push my boundaries as I don’t work 3D that often. 

This piece allowed me to explore creating sculptures from my own ideas as well as let me pay around with materials I am not very familiar with. It helped me to see things from all angles and not just the “front” of an abject like I would in a drawing or other 2D mediums.
