The First Sculpture...


So, my first idea for Portsmouth's Overnight Art program was a giant acorn.

But soon after that sketch I decided if this were going to be my first sculpture, I should probably try to make something a bit more interesting...and so the ant was born!


I then took my sketch and colored it. And using photoshop, I placed it "on location" to show how it might look in the real world!

These are some sketches for how I envisioned the possible construction of the ant's body. Some parts of the plan I kept, but when it comes to large scale "recycled art" pieces, a lot of the process is left up to improvisation.
