 PAPER SCULPT: UNFOLDING & PLANNING SUBJECT:   (my cat)  HAVOK        It took me forever to decide what my object would be. There's honestly not a lot of things in my life like objects that I hold close to my heart. However, the thing at home that brings me the most joy is my partner and I's cat, Havok.       She hates everyone but loves me and it makes me feel special. want to make the sculpture into a lamp that can be displayed on a stand or a wall. I want the piece to illuminate because Havok is the light of my life. Taking inspiration from Hari and Deepti the light in their works really made them feel full of life.       The face structure will be the most challenging I believe and finding a way to make it structurally sound will be tested when building by hand. 

  Conclusion: Hari and Deepti’s work have opened up so many new concepts for me regarding my own art practice. However once I’m able to see the process we have to take in Rhino through this project to achieve our cutouts, then I will be able to figure out where I can take my ideas. I know at this point that I would enjoy doing a storytelling aspect around this project inspired by Hari and Deepti’s work. With some of the sensibilities of Nahoko Kojima’s designs, because they are awe inspiring. Like this detail from Snow Leopard by Nahoko Kojima
