Statement- Sculpture

I started sculpture quite unsure of what to produce. I took the two words loose and made and built the foundations of my work from there. I decided to play on the word ‘made’ and look at the way humans try to create things but simultaneously destroying things at the same time. While researching the artist Eva Hesse I was inspired by the way she used thread and wire to create delicate intricate pieces and thought this would link into my work perfectly. I combined life like casts of hands and thread to represent the delicate balance between creation and destruction in the world. While using the same materials my work expanded into something different. Taking inspiration from my own struggled at creating something perfect, I found a way to explore the ideas that the world is desperately striving for something perfect, and will do whatever possible to achieve this.
