Wire and Plaster Forms Interaction Project

Non-objective abstract sculpture assignment
requirements: 1) create 2 sculptures- 1 in plaster and 1 in wire 2) the forms must be complete separate, but together create a more unified whole 3) sculpture should embody the feeling behind a song or poem of choice; I chose "Fell in Love Without You" by Motion City Soundtrack
materials: plaster and 2 gauges of wire






"Every aching wound will cauterize and bruise
In memory of what we used to call in love
And only time will tell if violins will swell
In memory of what we used to call in love
Used to call it love"

I attempted to juxtapose two very different images: that of a cauterizing wound, and that of a violin. The wire "bow" of the violin has jagged edges as it "saws" at the half violin, half heart abstract plaster form.
