The second sculpturing assignment was totally new to me, using a new technique – carving!
I was using different materials before, including plaster for sculpturing, but had never carved out one.
The idea of finding the hidden figure inside the plaster bag was very hard for me, thinking all the time that I can't take back my steps, and if a piece was carved out, there is no way back, only improvisation.
Since the piece of plaster reminded me a praying figure form the first moment, I decided to try and revile the shape of one. The plan was simple and a bit abstract, and so is the result.
Although I left some place for imagination, and the figure is not realistic at all, I still added some recognizable things- as the head and the spinal.
I fell ok for the first time trying to carve a humane figure out of plaster, but at the same time looking forward for trying it again, since I'm not 100% satisfied with what I manage to come out with.
As a last step I colored the sculpture, and that the point where I started to like it. I gave it a bronze – greenish color, and it really made the whole difference!
