As the starting point of my final project it's based on my own experience about body shame, female confidence and female strength, thus I decide to casting my own body- breast and take further experiments about different materials from the mold of my breast.
The ideas of different materials see as my sketches. Colourful glass sculpture could represent the soft side of female, also could represent female inclusion. The inspiration is coming from the process research above as you can see. However, there are difficulties I need to sort out, such as the temperature control, how to place the glasses and how much should I put into?
The second idea of the mold of casting is transfer it to Chinese Qing Hua Ci style ceramic sculpture which means to represent my identity as a Chinese female. For the structure project I made ceramic dumplings and the process I learned how to make the Chinese style white and blue, so I think this idea should be all right, the thing I need to figure out it's the pattern, what kind of pattern could represent my personality and identity?
The third idea is about sculpting leather. The inspiration is coming from the artist above YiCun which is leather artist and creator. However, as you can see his art works have purpose, as plate, lamp. They all have their certain functions. I am more interesting about the skill about how he sculpting the leather and making the organic shapes? If I could transfer my casting mold into leather like what he does that gonna be another way to delivery my point, the leather as an material could represent my personality, I have my own strength, I am smooth but with texture at the same time just as leather. Would I achieve this idea then? Could I pay the price to buy the material? Can I stitching after I sculpting it?
