MY Sculptures...

Equipment

To create my sculptures i used a cutting mat, ruler and a craft knife. 

to manipulate the lighting in my photos i used a small torch as this gave me the freedom as to where the light source was coming from.

My light source

based on the shells and sands forms i have researched and the natural form in 

which Richard Sweeney creates in his work i have made

 some of my own sculptures using paper.

by scoring the paper i have created these simple sculptures. 

i found that by scoring the paper it is then more easily manipulated.

The sculpture below reminds me of the shapes created when the sea has 

moved the sand.

I found that by changing the direction of the light source i could create shadows 

which look really soft.

In the sculpture below i have scored down one side of the paper 

and cut a slit on the side which isn't scored.

I then placed the bottom inside the slit to create the 

soft curve in the sculpture.

Below i have repeated the above sculpture to create a 

larger and little more complex design.

Shining the light at different angles changes the final 

outcome drastically.  

These star shaped sculptures could be hung from thread 

which could look really effective.

Below i simply scored a piece of paper and curved it round

repeating the sculpture is a really good idea as it creates a 

totally different, unique sculpture.

Adding the other sculptures creates and even more complex design. 

I i was to add more sculptures the design would get even more complex.

This close up photograph of one of my sculptures is really soft and 

crisp. i like the way the design becomes more abstract as its really close.

I have shone the light underneath these sculptures which makes 

them look as if they're glowing. i really like this effect as the brightness

 of the paper would make the poster stand out.
