For my fourth sculpture I wanted to use another uncommon medium: Insulating foam.

I started by creating base shapes out of paper and pringles cans so that I could cover them in the insulating foam so i did not waste the material. However I found it extremely difficult to use this material as it would not stick to the paper and carboard base object and just kept falling off before it could dry, so instead I tried building the sculpture up using layers of the foam so the sculpture was made entirely out of the single material. However, this didn’t work either as I had to wait over an hour for each layer to dry. Due to having to lair the material instead I ran out of foam very quickly and also because of the drying period I would not have had enough time to complete the sculpture in the time period given.

As an alternate to the foam sculpture, I decided to use the paper base shapes I created previously to create a large scale paper sculpture of my object, adding abnormally large ears to the sculpture to explore disproportionate sculpture. As I did not have any coloured paper that I could use to add the right details onto the sculpture, I instead ] coloured in normal white paper with coloured pencil and tore it up into small strips so that I could achieve a fur inspired texture on my sculpture. This was another sculpture in which I ran out of time with and could not complete as I wanted to create a full body sculpture. However the long monotonous process of colouring, tearing up and sticking down all the small pieces of paper took to long to do within the time frame. Despite this I think This piece looks okay on its own as I have a previous sculpture that is also just a head.
