steel, steel, and more steel

i've been getting the steel cut down to size, and even started to weld and file up some parts...

jigs [and the metal] falling into place

well, bending is going surprisingly well.

each chair should end up consisting of these 10 pieces and a single piece of felt

after working at Jordan's (Wanner Sculpture Studio) for a year, i got a good sense on how to go about sculpture making in the professional setting. doing things once, and doing them right. it takes weeks to plan, calculate, and rethink, but it's worth it. i'm feeling pretty good at this point knowing i have 50 days until i have to hand in my BFA, photos and all.

'bout time you posted.

this is my progression thus far on my BFA project.
so far, it's four steel and felt chairs

-below are photos of my mock up, then prototype-
[the real ones are on their way...]

[i love the look of the studio after a hard night's work]

crude, but you get the idea
