So I went out to Artfriend & Daiso to find the materials for my final model. The materials that I had in mind, before going to Artfriend, was Metal, wire and concrete. So here are the materials I found that can be used form my final model:

 

However after I went to Artfriend, I went home and did some research on the materials that I saw. And I’m interested to explore more on the wires. Like using the empty space of the cuboid to create something.

My inspiration came from this:

“This sculpture consists of a black wire man and a woman who are sitting down and facing away from one another in anger. Inside the black wire frames are two inner sculptures depicting children who are looking towards one another and embracing each other through the metal wires. 

At night, the two children in this wire art sculpture actually become brightly illuminated and create a powerful image that contrasts between inner human nature and what we actually project outward. Although the inner child appears to be trapped within the outer self, there still appears to be hope that can break through.”

I like how the sculpture conveys the story. And the fact that the artist inserted another figure inside the wire sculpture instead of making it empty.

So this is the moodboard that I intend to go for. Using wires and concrete. Simple, clean lines for wire framing. Playing around with opacity using cubes. And the colours that I’m going for is monochrome with a touch or neutral colours.
