Creating an abstract or non-abstract sculpture using clay. In this project we understand and examine the function of space, volume, mass, plane and line. Our aim is to create a sculpture that contains movement and balance. Our choices are between a sculpture of ourselves, or a creation of our own choice that still follows the objectives.
In this project, I took inspiration from video games. Here I take the idea of a game character who is a giant stone colossus. I decided that rather than having the normal stand-still position, I thought it would be better to have him stand tall as a heroic figure. However, over time as centuries pass, statues begin to erode and fall apart. Hence why he is covered in cracks and broken pieces.
