Being Human Community Art Workshops - Water


WATER: a clear colourless, tasteless odourless liquid that is essential for all life.
These small white sculptures form an essential purpose, they help lead us visually around the main piece, they have been made collectively as a group and when placed together represent unity and yet each one is significantly different and individually crafted by hand, carrying a personal and purposeful meaning just below the surface.



Making of the Plaster moulds.
 

Each week the participants worked to produce the Plaster of Paris moulds that you can see at the base of the sculpture. (150 in total )

These small white sculptures take their form and were all moulded from empty water bottles, on their own they stand alone, small and insignificant, but put together on mass and they form a relationship with each other taking on a whole new form and structure.
 


 
 

The moulds themselves are all very similar in shape and size with little indication of individuality. In many ways this can represent are human-selves, however scratch the surface and we reveal are infinite personalities and diverse cultures.
 
In order to highlight this the participants have scratched into the surface at the bottom of each moulded sculpture.
