"the Goddess"

 "The Goddess"

50" x 20"

Duct Tape, Newsprint, Paint, Cotton Fabric

October 2021

The objective for this assignment was simply to create a sculpture using soft materials. A soft form. 

I chose to make a greco-roman style goddess sculpture. I made the form with duct tape and my own body! I then cut it off and stuffed it with newsprint to give it some stability. After it was fully stuffed and sealed I painted the whole thing white, like marble. Then I used loose cotton fabric to drape the form in a way reminiscent of a greco-roman sculpture might have looked! I displayed the finished project on a table base stand. 

I think it turned out really well. I enjoy the juxtaposition of the soft sculpture with its inspiration of a marble sculpture, which in actuality is a very hard material. 

I had to recruit some help to make the form of my body! (making the form)

Stuffing the form!

It is very strange to see a form of your precise body proportions right in front of you! (filled form)
