wire and continuous line

using the style of Christopher Gasparian I have used pen to give an appearance of overlapping wire forming into two human figures within the drawn wire. using positive and negative space I have separated the figures in positive space to show forced separation ad being torn apart, perhaps from a loved one or oneself. I do not intend to add any colour to this piece as this will cancel the use of positive space, however I could include more pen to sharpen the gradient. also I would like to a some point in the future perhaps recreate this in wire as a small, three dimensional wire sculpture. this piece is based in the expressionism genre as it represents an emotion more than a physical being.

Most certainly not the most successful pieces drawn using the same principles for the drawn wire figures at the front of the sketchbook as this features a fox and a crow intertwined into a continual line drawing with the fox at the base of the tree and the crow atop a branch. Like the other wire mimic this one uses pen as a medium as it contrasts against the white paper and is draws a sharp line. Not the best pen was used in this composition and as a result I believe that dampened its quality thus bringing its quality down.

 

After experimenting with several different mediums I decided it would be best to create a sculpture using wire like the art of Christopher Gasparian. For this a human figure was used as this is what the artist focus on in his art. The sculpture has been made to ensure that the limbs can be moved by reducing the density of the wire around those areas such as the elbows and knees, in addition to this the figure has a scarf and a pair of gloves made of a teacake wrapper since I beloved it would add a little more personality to the sculpture and allow it to fit in with a leafy backdrop. Only taking two hours this does have potential to be a final outcome idea.

After creating a few other pieces using wire I decided that it may be best to use wire in two dimensions rather than three to construct two foxes and a crow in addition to a larger wolf. this series of animal figures were made by intertwining wire with all of them with the exception of the large wolf in my folder made using a single strand of wire. after constructing the smaller animals, it became apparent that they would not show well on white paper and as a result they were placed on black paper instead. it was very enjoyable making these however it may take a second glance to realise what some of them are meant to be but overall I am pleased with these as they show both sides of my theme in a way that is presentable in a book in the style of Christopher Gasparian.

following the creation of two dimension wire sculptures I decided to create more using the same technique used to create the first wire figure. these also are sculpted to appear like a bird and a fox.

the bird is a smaller sculpture that can grasp using the less dense wire talons. personally I do prefer this over the fox as is has fewer issues in regards to its appearance, in addition to this it can also be posed with greater ease.

the fox did not turn out as well as the bird with many of its feature too greatly out of proportion and also looks more feline than canine  in addition to being unable to be posed in any other way.
