When i was back in Vancouver after summer, i took two more visual art courses, Intermediate painting and basic sculpting. I had never taken any sculpting class before and i thought it would be amazing to learn something new.
I loved that class so much because not only we were always working in the university's workshop, where they had pretty much everything and we could do whatever we wanted, with the supervision of the workshop technician of course, but i leant so much about different materials and how to work with them like metals and plastics, and i'm pretty sure i would be able to do cool things with them now if i had the necessary equipment of course.
Sculpture. Lamp assemblage. 2009
Mixed media.
This sculpture was based on an assemblage projects, where we had to create a sculpture assembling two different objects.
I found the base of the lamp on the streets and i thought it would be excellent to make something out of it... at the same time, without even thinking of a possible idea of a lamp, i went to a flee market and i bought a basket thinking that i could also do something with it because it was extremely cheap.
When i took everything home i realized that i could use the basket as a shade of a lamp and so i took apart all the pieces of another lamp i had at home and added the bulb and the wires into the new lamp. Also, i had to create the middle part of my lamp so that the shade would be a little elevated and not so close to the base.
Making that wasn't as easy as it looks, it took a lot of time because i had to prepare the inside well so that the bulb would fit perfectly and so that the cable wouldn't be too visible.
