If I’m being honest with myself, I’m finding myself to be quite unmotivated not really inspired to do this task. I walk around my house and outside for what seems likes hours trying to find objects or inspiration to use for these assemblages. I live in Titirangi so I’m surrounded my organic matter so I decided to live my inner child grab random objects, sticks, flowers, leaves rocks and just went into a no-mind state and just went along with it.
I used mud so glue and just started to stick things together with it. I need to not get so stuck in my head and just do it. I also played around with balance and covering the objects entirely with other matter such as mud and leaves.
I think now I want to move into large scale sculptures and working maybe with crochet, covering the whole surface of the rocks, braiding in flowers, leaves, sticks. I could also cover it with moss.
Hi Kat, really interesting work! I love how you have chosen to focus on the materials and objects you can find in nature. The shell one is very visually striking, I think it would be worthwhile exploring that further and even going bigger! Also incorporating more wool in various ways. Why not cover a bunch of rocks in wool? Nice work 🙂
