Invent Your Own Project Blog Post #2

This week I have been focusing on the figure, capturing it fairly realistically, and choose the type of clay I will use.  For the body of the sculpture, I've been deciding between adding granite or sawdust to the clay to add a rough, interesting texture.  The surface of skin will relate to the emotional, psychological issues I am discussing about pain.  Combining this with an interesting glaze can support the chronic pain story I am telling though the work that words cannot express.  For example, crawl glaze, crackle, or crater glaze.  These are shown below:

​This week I created a small figure for practice, as well as a canvas to test some of these glaze ideas on a shapely, upright surface.  This figure is around 6 inches tall.  I also have created a bunch of test tiles for the glaze testing.  The real piece I've decided should be closer to life-size.  This will help create a one-on-one relationship with the viewer, I'm hoping to be more relatable.
