Balsa Wood Sculpture
Materials: Balsa wood, wood glue, and pins
Dimensions: 8 1/2" x 5" x 6"
For my balsa wood sculpture, I used wood glue to act as the base to hold up the wood and a place for the tiny wood shavings.
I used pins to hold the small bits of wood that I shaved off by using the utility knife. I carved a smooth and wavy design into each of the longer sticks of wood. I used repetition in the use of small, rounded strips of wood.
The purpose of this sculpture is to use the glue and pins to hold the wood in a way that each piece looks like it is balancing on each other in a more natural way. I was inspired by nature and organic materials when sculpting this.
Paper Sculpture
Paper Sculpture
Materials: Paper, balsa wood, clear packing tape, and pins
Dimensions: 10 1/2" x 4 1/2" x 7 1/2"
I used paper in square formations to act as the base and sides of my sculpture. The paper is surrounding a wooden support and small wooden sculpture within the overall piece. The clear packing tape was used to create a "window" effect on the sides and bottom. I enjoyed playing with symmetry and balance with this sculpture, but also use of a focal point.
