Assemblage
Saturday, January 26th, 2008
I call it the Bugfly. It is my first assemblage sculpture. I have always wanted to make assemblage; however, since I was featured on Modish in the section “hand made faces” I have been more inspired to do handmade art.
But what is assemblage? It is when you take things like antique items, junk, or garbage together to make a design, normally a sculpture.
Mom told me I could practice with things I find around the house, therefore I chose to use junk. I got together two coke cans, two corks, three rubber bands. some wire, and three wire caps. I originally tried to make a tree however I failed. I tried a second approach, a bug. it was much more possible to create. it was so simple I did not have to make any adaptive changes to the design to make it work.
All and all, I think the Bugfly is a good sculpture. Maybe not the best but at least an ok one. After all, it is my first assemblage sculpture.
