SO I just got back from my advanced sculpture class, and I'm not gunna lie, this semesters gunna be hard. He's given us total freedom of subject, concept, materials... the whole shebang. I have one very distinct sculpture I know I want to do. But thats about it.
I want to make a life size personal version of my dad depicted as the Reclining Buddha, or as the Buddha Entering Nirvana. Itll be covered in images an drawings, and would involve cast molds of hands and feet.
Aside from that though, I dont know what else I would like to do. I think my greater concept is going to be about collecting personalities, so I might do a different person for each sculpture.
I'd really like to try and tackle a life size self portrait too, but Im worried Im being too ambitious.
... maybe I'll just call the series of sculptures 'Vickers'. and do one of each of myself, the one mentioned above of my dad, Breena holding baby Gary, and Brogan.
I think if I did the one of Breena Id end up being snarky and maybe a bit mean, maybe depict her as the Virgin Mary holding baby jesus... Id probably depict her in a negative manner and baby Gary in a good manner, but I dont know how Id do that... the mental image with the burst of rays coming from behind Breenas head is deeply amusing to me though.
I suppose I could do the agony/ecstasy sculpture... kinda cliche though.
Many many things to think about...
