For our final project in Intermediate Sculpture, we remixed one of our previous pieces this semester. I decided to remix both of mine. I used the composition of my first piece, 5 hexagons receding in size connected at the top two corners and bottom two corners. I used the same metal as I did in my second piece, drilled holes an inch apart again, and ran string through the form. I also made it more similar in size to my second piece. This piece was the most difficult one to make throughout the entire semester. After welding the hexagons, I had to take two apart because the angles were not perfect and it looked weird. Next time I plan on making a little model of the angle and using that to ensure perfection the first time. It took a few hours to drill all the holes and at some points I regretted not using the drill press, but I had fun using the cordless drill anyway. This one was the most difficult to run the string through by far. This is the most controlled piece I've ever made with string. Each of the six sides going all the way back is symmetrical. The more string I added, the harder it got to remember and figure out how I ran the string through each time. Though it was a time consuming process, I really enjoyed it and I like how it's come so far. I plan on buying more of the same yarn and adding more around the sides. I'm excited to see where this one leads my sculpture to evolve!
