For this assignment we chose a verb with some kind of sensation that can be translated into a visual experience. Then carved an expression of the verb into a block of plaster.
Dripping has a dynamic, natural and creepy aesthetic I appreciate. This quality granted the opportunity to combine contradictory design elements. Smooth, flowing lines covered with a rough texture and exaggerated form. I also enjoy the juxtaposition of creating a representation of liquid and movement from a solid and static form. The large scale of the piece adds to these opposing elements creating boldness in a tiny drip. Conceptualizing the piece I envisioned dripping blood ala classic horror films with a certain thickness and viscosity to the liquid. I also thought of a clear, crystalline droplet of water with smoothness and clarity. I combined the two with an exaggerated carved out, symbolical almost cartoonish representation. Droplets spurt and flow from long flowing threads and also gather in groups as they coagulate
