sculptures

The earliest statues carvings were mainly religious in meaning. They could be carved out of various materials such as wood and bone as well as stone. But because stone lasts longer they are the most common ones found today.When society discovered metals that is when the started to make molds and casts to pour the molten metal in. This is a similar process to molding for prostherics. That is you make an accurate cast of the person you want to make up and use that as a base for your work.

Sculpture Ron Muek
I Adore Ron Muek's work I love how he uses ordinary people he often does them in vulnerable states. I aspire to his attention to detail he is truly a master of his craft I love the scale of his work and the variety of it it goes from life size and heart warming to hump his and controversial.

Sculpture by Ron Mueck, In Bed,
This work is titled In Bed. The woman's hair is made from horse hair while the sheets are cotton

One of his most shocking pieces is a new born baby with blood and umbilical cord hanging from his stomach which shows he has no creative boundaries and he will use every day life and experiences into his work with them so life like.

This is one of my favorites of his work I love how you can see the pours in his skin and the slight stumble everything is so perfect which makes me realise attention to detail is crucial and really does make a difference to the finished look. I also like how it's just the head it adds drama to the piece and the intense on his face gives more impact as its so realistic it even seems intimidating too look at even though it's a sculpture. that's what I feel art is its making you think question it makes an impact.
'If they succeed as fun things to have in the room, I'm happy. At the same time, I wouldn't be satisfied if they didn't have some kind of presence that made you think they're more than just objects,' said Mr Mueck

In a rare interview he said : 'I don’t think of them as mannequins. On one hand, I try to create a believable presence; and, on the other hand, they have to work as objects. They aren’t living persons, although it’s nice to stand in front of them and be unsure whether they are or not'
