This is my finished sculpture. For the most part I stuck to my original idea and plan but when I first started I turned the 1 x 2 turned the wrong way and so it ended up taking my longer than I planned. I also had originally wanted to carve the words and symbols into each sign shape. The previous assignment was part of the inspiration but it started with seeing a brightly painted and detailed stop sign piece at the OKC festival of art 2 years ago and when I didnt see the piece this year it seemed to be all I wanted to draw and sketch this summer and the stop signs expanded to stoplights with the carving and all traffic signs with this. Over all I am pleased with the way it turned out but as soon as I was finished I saw things that I would have liked to do, add to, or use in the next. I really enjoyed this project its the first time I have had the chance to build something other than a canvas stretcher and It was alot of fun!

I think this is a really cool idea. You can really tell that you put a lot of hours into this. Why did you decide to put a the signs all jumbled up in the middle of the stop light?
ReplyDeleteI really liked the sculptures online that had pieces put together randomly and wanted to try to do something similar with traffic signs...which was harder than I thought it would be.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like it would be pretty difficult. But I think the hard work you put into it really shows.
ReplyDeleteput your sculpture on a pedestal outside and photograph
