Create > Magnification

Goal:  Change the perceptual response to an object by making it larger

Catalysts:  

Distort, magnify, fantasize

Studio Activity:  

Select a subject for your sculpture that is normally quite small, such as a paper clip, nail clipper, wrist watch, electrical or mechanical parts, bugs, or other small creatures… Recreate the subject on a giant scale:  Make a soft sculpture by cutting fabrics and flexible materials, which are then sewn, stuffed, stitched, and decorated; or create a large rigid structure by using cardboard and tape and paper-mâché.
