This sculpture came together by curiosity and my drive to bring dark aspects of personality forward through abstraction. The process of creating a work that would invoke a sense of fantasy, danger, and desire, began with simple sketches that would spark excitement in what could be. After making a decision on a sketch that worked best for me, I then thought about how i could manipulate and make choices about materials that had almost the opposite affect of being poisonous, danger. After connecting pieces of foam board to form a bee-hive shaped structure, I went about cutting and melting the foam board. These choices would allow the material to mend together and make for a simple transition into the next step in my process. Layering plaster atop the foam board was a crucial step in my creative thought process. I found that using my fingers to create hair textures in the plaster would aid in the dark, living but unfamiliar mood that I wanted to invoke. I then took thin pieces of foam and chose to stick them into my sculpture. These small and curious pieces would be the factor that tied together my original idea of creating a reflection of my dark inner hidden identity. Lastly, color choice would transform the sculpture into something that catches the eye but warns the viewer simultaneously. Black spray paint wraps around the entirety of the piece and hot pink paint tips stick out from the already questionable thorns.
