As part my part of my reflections I have been making sculptures using my features for stimulation. I am currently using store bought air dry clay to make these sculptures. I am now thinking of other methods i.e using a corn meal paste and allowing it to dry for a couple of days. I also want to improve the scale of these.
I was inspired by John Kirby’s exhibition LIVING DEAD at the WALKER ART GALLERY to make these. I find this process very liberating as it has allowed me (to draw by making). I enjoying moulding features and the feel of clay.
I do feel they look like a bit naive but making sculptures has allowed me to loosen my hand when drawing, I no longer obsess about one drawing but just move on to the next page.
