Melt
2022
13" x 12" x 10"
The melt figure was an idea derived from melted, pooled-up steel deposits from welding along with found objects that I had collected together in the metal shop. Just like the previous figure of the semester, Stride, my goal was to make the sculpture to appear as if it was fluid and organic rather than being too rigid. At the same time, trying to further push my processes of welding further and expand the figures I make in different forms and different poses. I also wanted to see if I could heat up the legs in a way with the figure, push it into the base, weld and build up from there to make the figure appear as if it was melting down or coming up from the ground.
