sculpture – Emily Maxwell McLemore

I used air dry clay, so I had to use “everyday” tools instead of my normal clay tools.

I made flat snakes. I use a little water to help keep the clay moving.

I used the plastic tub to form the circle.

After the clay sets, I use a straw to punch a series of holes in the clay.

I liked this creation, but I didn’t love it.

After playing around with the clay pieces and digging up some more salvaged scraps, I came up with this piece. I like it.

A Lesson in Physics

I made some random clay pieces with leftover air dry clay. It was kind of planned, kind of spontaneous. Once the pieces were ready, I placed them on each other using gravity. I moved them around a while and took pictures as the pieces moved and broke. I like the finished product. I’m thinking of spray painting it. You can see it in my next post. (I don’t know how to add an additional picture to this post!)
