What is sculpture
Sculpture, a dictionary definition-"The art of carving, modeling, welding, or other wise producing figurative or abstract work in three dimensions as in relief, intaglio or in the round." This talks about any work that is 3D, made from any material. The definition was widened in an online magazine by the British council of arts. They went on to say that sculpture is also "installation, land art, body art, performance art text-based work, photography and video as well as the three dimensional art object".
I wanted to look at the definition of what sculpture is, my work is sculptural based and i thought it would be interesting to see how it fits in to the category of sculpture. When i went to search sculpture many people talked about it through objects, never moving, never changing, a solid that has a definite shape and form. My work challenges this, i have tried to convey movement and the temporary throughout the use of sculpture I have tried to use materials that change state that combine with each other. I think my work is sculpture but that it also looks a bit at performance, the way i want it to move, the way i build it up and the way it is made through combination. I think it will be interesting to explore this and see how it makes my work different.
I was also very interested in installation, i have been looking at many artists who's work become an installation. i like the way it incorporates the viewer and fills a room. Installation is a kind of art that does not just focus on one object, it looks at the relationship between lots of different parts to the work, it brings the work into context. I think that later on i want my art to become installation based, to incorporates whole rooms and become part or the environment.
