Abstract Plaster Sculpture

This is a small piece I completed in my 3D art class. For this assignment, we were grouped into pairs. Together, we were supposed to used wax or plaster to create an interesting coupling of items. My partner, Vicki, made a tiny, heart-shaped, wax perfume bottle. I cast plaster in a handmade cardboard box to create the initial shape of my piece. I rounded the edges of the piece and carved the spike-like shapes. I created a mosaic pattern on the front surface of the piece, using a pin tool. The hole in the front is octagonal. The overall piece was meant to resemble broken, fragmented glass of an item that was once intact, such as a perfume bottle. The satin surface treatment was accomplished with spray paint to portray the idea of reflected light.
