TripleS - SUB-UNIDADES

Working With Mixed Materials in 3D

[7-10-24 - 12-10-24]

This workshop was a wonderful excuse to do exactly what I've wanted to do for this whole project: take things apart, see how they work, and put them back together in a new way. With the encouragement of my tutors, and a bag of used toys from the curio shop, I set about my task.

I found that I had a few guiding principles: I liked the movement of the toys, liked the use and function of it, so kept that as much as i could. I found in both my selection of toys, and my work that I was drawn to the more humanoid figures, intrigued by the idea of taking something familiar and "ruining" it. Conceptually, I like the idea of An Assembly of self, the idea that we all have to construct ourselves, and i think theres something grotesquely Divine about that, so i aimed to give my creations a sort of Angelic appearance, to create a host of Angels Of The Self.

This was sort of inspired by the myth of the managol, a filipinio vampire, a woman who separates at the waist. I wanted a sort of dangling thing, evocative of organs. i used ropes to try simulate that sinewy texture.

A baby doll with a halo if legs. Originally had big buff arms, but it liked it better crawling around on its halo. Cardboard wings help with a paper fasteners, based of a set of plastic toys wings i have that you'll see later

This toy is the same as the one used for the torso in my first creature. It had a set of two screws in the back, and i thought taking it apart would be as simple as unscrewing the screws. It was not. This thing was unreasonably hard to get apart, and this is as far as it would split, even with the screw drilled all the way through, even with my tutor chiselling her open. I though there was something evocative here, something about her head splitting and cracking while the rest if her holds resolute. I think I'd eventually like to to fill the crack with red wool and tinsel.

This is Gabriel, my chief angel, and my favourite. Through a use of carefully made holes and axels, Gabriel maintains the articulation of both his arms and his wings. He's made from a baby doll, and some detachable wings from might've once been an action figure.

As i was working, I tried to keep an eye out for Interesting patterns, shapes, connections, as inspired by the work of Hans Bellmer

Attended the Laser Cutting workshop today, and had a lot of fun!! As much as I enjoy working with my hands, I have to admit I feel very at ease working behind a computer screen. We made a little template snail in Adobe Illustrator, and then cut it out with the laser cutter.
