Proposal
This is a sculpture and it is of you. More precisely, your emotion. Rigid Detail is a paper sculpture built out of multiple folded forms. Standing 20 inches tall with a width of 18 inches, an interior form of wire holds these angled features together. I created this work by first, designing a template that I would fold into the repeated shape. When dealing with a repetitive action such as folding paper into the same shape over a hundred times, my goal became not about the folding. It was how to simplify this task. Instead of tracing the new individual templates, I opted to cut each by hand. This would quicken the process and give variety to each form and a result was varied dimensions. This subtle detail alluded to the emotional aspect of this composition.
The parameter of this piece was themes of nature and I chose emotions that can be found in nature that would also mirror human emotion. Such as anger, but also tranquility. This would guide the flow of human emotion. Forever changing and adapting, and reinventing itself. In this art, you will understand your emotion.
