Object inspiration for my first 2nd year project

For our first project of second year, we had to choose an object we liked as a starting point.I chose a large lamp which I carried in my arms all the way home from Egypt. It's essentially a wire mesh frame in the shape of Marge Simpson's hair with blue and green glass beads wired onto it. We then had to make the object in new materials. I played alot with creating grids and attaching two sizes of spheres onto them in various ways as this is the basic composition of the lamp. I worked with contrasting materials too- harsh wires and sticks for the grid and softer more tactile materials for the spheres.

This picture is of the final object I made- a grid created from wire and pot scrubs and flower decoration gel balls for the spheres. This object then became inspiration for the clay translation.
