This piece was the culmination of our week learning about Fine Art. Made with pasta, glue and a LOT of patience. I was quite pleased with the outcome!
The original brief was “construct” which in the dictionary means “to build or make something systematically”.
I found inspiration from the installation artist Tara Donovan who makes beautiful pieces out of day to day objects such as paper plates or straws. What’s great about her work is how she doesn’t plan or design but just lets the materials take shape as the installation is made. Often the final pieces look like they could have formed naturally, almost like they grew there. This is the sort of effect that I hoped to achieve here, I looked at how the pasta would fit together and somehow it grew on the wall!
