Individual Studies week 3- model



























I'm not good at decorating, so this is only some paste of the textures I create. It will DEFINITELY change in the end. I promise.

I also remade the lower studio again because I so like the old one much. I also change the style of the stairs.























I made the stairs in a spiral form, but also maintaining the 'weird' effect.

Paccinini made this sculpture, The Young Family in 2002. She didn't actually made this by herself, but she drew the sketch and let another artist, Sam Jinks to produce the sketch in 3D form. In this artwork Paccinini uses a transhuman-half human, half animal to show that the ethic issues brought by genetic modification.

This sculpture is made from silicon, acrylic, human hair, leather and timer, where the use of silicon provides great detail and texture of the sculpture. Although it is not a total human form, there are some human features such as the eye and eyebrows, made of actual human hair, which could be easily spotted.















Ricky Swallow's works always shows his great carving skills. In this art piece 'Younger than Yesterday', he uses a block of wood and carve it into a highly detailed, extremely realistic skull. You can see that some parts of the sculpture is very hard to obtain realistic forms, such as making the teeth look like it's grown on the skull, not joined by it.
The barnacles grown on the skull shows that even when one dies and decays, it still could lead to the birth and growth of other organisms, where that's also why I chose CYCLE as the word for the studio-the cycle of life.
