Reflection Statement 

The Three sculptures visually communicate chaos and unease. While exploring the materials to build the sculptures, I wanted to focus on making each sculpture flow together in using the same pattern and sharp edges because I wanted similar feelings to come from each piece of art. I decided to include organic shapes in the wires and the pattern to contrast the sharp edges created by the squares and rectangles. I felt the work was lacking a finished look so I added in the black elements to make certain areas pop. I want to keep exploring working with wire and gel medium to create organic shapes. I want to learn more about how to use minimal colors to make a piece stand out. These pieces allowed me to explore creating a collection of sculptures that would go together, despite using varying materials on each. The making of this work exposed me to new ideas such as combining my love for drawing shapes and patterns into the creation of 3D pieces.
