I really enjoyed creating a symmetrical and repeating pattern! It was very therapeutic and relaxing, more relaxing than I find creating a 3D sculpture is. I had some spare clay so I thought it would be interesting to use.

My playdough sculpture was inspired by Edvard Munch's 'The Scream'. I was unsure about what to create with the playdough so I asked my mum for inspiration and she said to create faces or emotions with the playdough. I experimented with the playdough and tried to think of an emotion that I could embody using the playdough. Eventually, I got a picture of Munch's painting in my head and decided to recreate the famous screaming face using playdough. I enjoyed working with this particular material as you can't really make any mistakes with it and can re-mold and re-mold until you get what you are looking for.

At lunchtime I brought a huge orange

the size of it made us all laugh.

I peeled it and shared it with Robert and Dave--

they got quarters and i had half

and that orange it made me so happy

as ordinary things often do

just lately. the shopping. a walk in the park

this is peace and contentment. its new

the rest of the day was quite easy

I did all my jobs on my list

and enjoyed them and had some time over.

I love you. I'm glad I exist

My play dough sculpture is inspired by the pebble towers I saw this summer on a beach in Greece. I added my own next to them while my brother threw stones trying to knock them down. I realised then there were 3 types of people in most situations: the builders, the destroyers, and the watchers. Despite this, I enjoy the spontaneous artistry of humans. We create these masterpieces unaware we are doing so. My favourite thing about the pebble towers on this island in Greece was that you had to swim to it so there was no way of taking a photo unless it was from far away. I like when things are like that because you know that you are one of the few people that will see it.

I didn't have any spare flour, so I decided to create a (tongue-in-cheek) homage to Marcel Duchamp's readymade sculptures, whilst still staying with the culinary theme.

This is the first time I use clay. Diving into the waves is calming for me and it is always at the beach that I find peace and inspiration when I am lost in the elements.

The was a plaster/painted snake I made for a short video on fairies.
Sorry, I'm having difficulty downloading (not for the first time on Padlet). The snake is twisted, basic colour a grey/-white with purple stripes. His video appearance was as an adviser to a fairy queen.

I made my ‘playdough’ from cookie dough so we could eat it once baked. I had brown (cocoa) and white (almond & vanilla) dough so made a combination of shapes in the two colours and flavours. It was good fun to do and the cookies tasted great. I think I was ‘inspired’ by Barbara Hepworth and Austin Wright’s work. Using edible food to ‘sculpt’ did make me think about some of the creations I’ve seen made from either or both cake and chocolate that are pretty much ‘sculptures’. Is there a line between ‘art sculpture’ and something made from potentially edible material? If Andy Goldsworthy’s snowballs or leaves are sculpture then is a cake or a chocolate sculpture art too?

I have zero confidence in my abilities to craft anything other than a pie. So I have replicated Richard Serra's Tilted Arc and used it to divide chalk and cheese. In a dadaist masterstroke, I ate the cheese, so this piece can no longer be reproduced.

Plasticine. Ideally the piece would be 20 feet tall and made from aluminium. While I was making it, I was thinking about natural forms, like birds and snakes and plants. I also thought about what it would look like from all angles. The black piece kept dropping off so I kept it apart to create a relationship within the piece.
