My wire armature sculpture was inspired mainly by student examples that were shown in class lecture. I saw skin that was tight and stretched, cream colored that reminded me of old-fashioned aerial machines. Elegance and simplicity were both things I wanted to embody with this piece.
The sculpture contains two types of design: line and plane. The line is curved, with flat bottoms, juxtaposed cylindrical to the other lines. The planes are wing-shaped, the bottom ones slightly bigger than the other and positioned upward along the line. I chose copper wire, over a much thinner silver wire because of its dexterity and sturdiness. With it, I was able to stretch the cream colored nylon over the pieces without compromising their shape.
