More plastic paper

So i've been getting interested in sculpting with paper and fabric by coating it with plastic. (Also just barely started experimenting with thermoplastic-impregnated fabrics, but it has proven to be prohibitively expensive. Hopefully i'll be able to continue soon) This is a sculpture i made in the spring, which i covered with tracing paper strips using plastic coating in a papier mache fashion.













Next i have been using full lengths of paper draped or propped until rigid.



Yes this last one may look like a pile of garbage, but right now one of my biggest concerns is trying to get big big big, however i can.

I'll admit, I'm barely beyond Elvis paintings as an art connoisseur. But you do a wonderful job here of opening my eyes to the craft and your thought process. I think that's almost part of the art, no?

Well it is, because although it's almost cliche to say "what is the artist trying to tell me?", indeed that's the core of what art is about. But the artist must first learn how to communicate with their chosen medium. And you've certainly made me think more about what goes into a piece rather than just the piece itself. Dig?
