Reflection from Critique.

After critiquing my last finished piece, I am coming away from critique realizing that I can push sculpture even further in my work. 

It was noted that I could use the negative space between wooden pieces more effectively. I could make even larger pieces, I could allow the wire to go sprawling up the wall... 

Essentially push my imagination to dream even further. Maybe develop less attachment to structure. I have been primarily a 2D artist for so long I thought this last piece I made was a HUGE step. And I guess it was. 

I have started to find and develop language in my pieces that I am able to bring  to other ones. A huge point of growth was when so decided to cut up he piece of wood I was working on and allow it to have shape that moves beyond the rectangle. 

One other recommendation to the piece I finished was to turn it about 15 degrees. I will also play with that. 

Now, I can see myself learning to develop an even more elegant approach. Or wackier, wilder, more intense.

I had a vision for the next piece last night.  

One that hangs overhead, across my studio ceiling. Probably a smaller version of a bigger one I will eventually create. We'll see what happens. 

I am envisioning wooden pieces held together by wire, connected at the center. With a piece of glass only joined by hooks or copper rings. Something of that nature. 

I am just coming out of critique wanting to push myself even further and excited for next week and all the studio time this weekend .
