I thought it was about time I showed you one of my sculptures' since the course is such a big part of my life. And what better sculpture to show you then one inspired by Ze Franz. Warning- bigish picture under cut.
I made this at the beginning of the year for the Mercury Art Prize. First prize is that your entry goes on the cover of the Mercury Prize CD... you know, the one Franz won a few years ago...
Sorry, any excuse to post a picture from that event. Eyeliner/tight shirts/trousers/general eyeraping- rawr! ; D
Moving on, you can also win tickets to the awards themselves and £5000! Sounds great eh.
The brief for the competition was to enter a piece of art inspired by music. At that time, I had recently seen Franz (OMG that was almost a year ago now!) and- with Nick's dancing still vivid in my mind- I made the sculpture above inspired by the way he moves when playing the guitar. And no, it does not have a big butt! I made this before I was enlightened by Nick's arse! ; D
Unfortunately I didn't even get shortlisted but I wasn't too surprised about that. But it was fun to make anyway and gave me a great excuse to watch the Brixton gig over and over again!
My art department has just gotten details through about this year's Mercury Art competition so I'm going to try entering a different piece and see if I do any better.
I really should get back to art now.
