his project was inspired by a very famous painting of ice shelves by Caspar David Friedrich (Sea of Ice; Oil Painting, 1824) who was a 19th century German Romantic landscape painter.
My journey with plaster had various stages:
At the very beginning I created tiny 'one minute' sculptures which became my inspiration for larger scaled objects.
This led to a subtractive sculpting process of massive blocks. The breakage of this process was then assembled into various solids.
Filling plaster into a tub produced a different type of curved breakage which led to solid curved objects.
When the curved sheets became thinner, the resulting objects were more fragile and much smaller.
My journey with plaster gave birth to sculptures of various interesting shapes and textures: Some were graphic and bold while others were more complex and fragile.
This led to a beautiful series of abstract objects that was made from the same material in different styles.
