I have collected various found objects to produce a body of work on; specifically sculpture based work.
This is a small wasp nest that has been abandoned...I like the texture, the fragility of the material and the shape and formal qualities.
This is a section of a coconut; my second found object. It has several varieties of textures that are unrecognisable and almost impossible to identify as a coconut.
This is a cast I have taken from the coconut. To me it looks like a forest.
I have experimented with qualities of materials that range from pure and 'organic' to synthetic. Using a similar shape and form relating to the wasp nest.
This is a wooden ball I made from a cube, just using a band saw. It is not finished yet I still need to sand it down. I like the texture and tone of the wood which is the same material as the nest but in contrast is solid and hard.
My intentions are to explore the density of these experimental material forms concerning weight,mass and volume etc.
Installing them with other found objects, possibly combining or simply arranging them to exploit these properties.
More will be added soon...
