The experimental sculpture collection entitled Apex was inspired by several innovative artists that work primarily with items that are more often than not found strewn about any given area. My intent was to visually communicate emphasis on three separate elements and principles of art: negative space (the tall wooden sculpture), repetition (the rectangular sculpture baring wooden dowels), and focal point (the suspended red gel medium piece). I wanted to primarily focus on how I could transform each individual sculpture in a way that was pleasing to the eye both separately and together. I decided to include a more advanced wood shop piece because I wanted to challenge myself with something I had never tried before. On that note, The piece that holds the wooden dowels was thrown away and redone three separate times, so the last-minute nature of that sculpture, in particular, was where my work was lacking. I want to keep exploring the wood shop, as I believe, while it’s tough, having that experience is rewarding. In making this sculpture collection, I pushed myself to think outside of the box and remind myself to not be afraid of using inspiration to spin my own designs.
