Paper Stacking Project; Fruit & Invented Sculpture

The Apple

I used a green apple as my model for the first paper stacking project, I found it difficult to get the shape and size right, it was cutting all the circles out the right size. I ended up having lips and edges that I had to sand down with the sander.

 Invented form

for my invented form I used the ocean and waves as my primary model and inspiration, to see all the inspirations go to the "Invented Form; Inspiration Sources" post.

Invented Form; Waves in Progress

Invented form: Waves finished
I used blue and green pastel to create the natural colors of the ocean and white to represent the sea-foam. The overlapping and rolled form represent the movement and rhythm of the waves as they naturally overlap each other and roll in on themselves towards shore. I also used the gloss gel to give the sculpture the sleek shimmering look of water.
