Relief Post: part one




Above pictures were my peices of inspiration for my project. Recently i have taken a liking to the styles of the 1700/1800s which inspired me to do a relief based on a Victoria Era portrait which is seen in the sketch below. This relief will be made with clay and will be sculpted like a frame, with the girl rising for the frame. I will also be puting melted glass between the frame and the girl to give it a more regal touch.

Victoria Wagner (Inspired Artist)



Californian artist Victoria Wagner slices and paints large pieces of reclaimed wood to resemble gemtsones or geodes. Victoria has mostly worked with these wood blocks, clay, and paint. She has gotten and MFA from Mills College in Oakland, CA and a BA at Humboldt State University in Arcant, CA.

The pop of color on the very neutral/bland wood peices if what really drew me in to her work.
