Stephen Wright Workshop

Here are some images from our 'sculpture' :')... from the first week back at uni!








‘Tunnel of Life’

-         We started off wanting to make a chandelier which then turned into a series of mobiles which then turned into an installation in which people were asked to walk through.

‘ As you walk through the sculptures represent different ages, the more free flowing shapes like the paper chains, paper planes and snowflakes show the younger ages in life where you would create these things in nursery and school.

The more sophisticated and structural shapes such as the spiral hangings and abstract cubes show how we mature!’

-         We all agreed that yesterday’s workshop was really childlike so we decided to carry on with the nave vibe.

-         Paper Planes represent the journey of travelling through life but the shapes are also playful and childlike.

-         Paper chains are also childlike but they represent celebrations such as birthdays and Christmas.

-         The cubes represent growing up as they look like building blocks but they are also quite mature looking and sophisticated.

-         The paper spirals are also quite sophisticated and they represent life as it is a continuing spiral of events.
