Soapstone Totem
2014
Soapstone, Steel
6" x 6" x 66"
Stoapstone Totem was the most experimental piece I created this semester. I have grown comfortable and confident using steel and wire and wanted to play with subtractive sculpture. While the soapstone portion of this sculpture was inspired by Meso-American totems and carvings, the steel originated as a method to see the carving at eye level, but developed into an attempt of using two disparate mediums, a concept I had yet to play with. I worked within the juxtaposition of the most malleable stone and the solidity and rigidity of steel and found them to hold little relation outside this contrast.
