Modify the Maquette for the Wave Sculpture

So after a nights sleep I have modified the maquette, I think it is a bit better now. The left hand side seems to lead into the wave and there is a greater sense of balance as the piece starts, builds up and breaks over the top.

So I’ll sleep on it and then start carving if I am still happy.

Starting to think about what to carve

So now its time to get serious. Thinking about what to carve is a combination of the ideas I have in my head that have been mulling around and developing for a while. Today the one which is surfacing is a development of a wave form combined with a Mobius strip. This type of form enhances the wood with lovely areas of light and shade and a sense of swirling movement. I am thinking about whether to carve it in lime and paint some of the faces to create contrast, or to do it in spalted wood and let the grain come through.

I will have a look at some of the pieces of wood from my wood store!!

Then I can start to develop my initial concept in a more real way………
