The Dragons: air dry clay, inks, acrylic paint, epoxy putty, wire, paper, foam board
(14in x 16 x 8in)
The concept for this sculpture was influenced by "the dragon", a writing about a collection of obscure taxidermy creatures. The work consists of two sculptures intended to reflect on the variety of odd creatures contained in the collection, by creating freaks of nature with a variety of animal features that don't typically go together. For the top sculpture the goal was to give more of a patchwork style to the features, complete with mix-matched parts, stitches, and scratches and tears along the skin of the dragon. The bottom sculpture combined features in such a way that it comes off as a more believable, yet still outlandish creature. The intent of the piece was to create a sense of interest and hopefully a form of disgust through freakish creatures that look mashed together.
