More 3d

I mentioned a while ago that I was revisiting my 3d work. I have really , really worked hard on it this week and I have 2 pieces to show you. I think I am happy with them but I am finding it hard to look at them objectively. I really want to know what you think.

I finally made it this week to see the sculpture exhibition in Gloucester Cathedral. I went with an artsy friend and we had a great time. We arrived a bit early so couldn't get a map of the exhibits from the shop. We wandered, chatted, discussed and debated. each piece is labeled with number but no name / title so we had to take them at face value. I think this was a good exercise for us. We also wandered around with a map and we looked at things in a different way.

There were 3 exhibits I really liked.

I though I might share them with you.

There were 2 pieces made by Stephen Hurst. there were rather like wooden automata toys and I would have love to roll them along. I loved the reuse of materials and the way you could see how it was physically made. A picture of Ship of Fools is here.

The other sculpture was by Jon Buck. His website here. The piece I loved was called The Wishbone bird and it is in his 2005 Work. Looking at his website I also really like the way he draws.

Both have a folky quality which I love at the moment.

I am not really calling 2 majorly important artist "folky"!

I also discovered that I am not a big fan of work that seems to included body parts or skin!

uurgghhh.

Go and have a look.
