Wire and Paper Sculpture: Royal Stag
Dimensions
34 x 33 x 17cm
Materials:
Wire, acid free tissue paper.
Wire Sculpture Technique:
The
wire is built up into a 3D wireframe using the wire and this describes
the contours and outline of the stag. The wire is joined to itself
by tight wrapping of wire around wire using pliers, there is no hot
process involved. Then a the fine paper (sized first with glue) is put
on wet. This paper skin then dries taut. The individual miniature creatures are
usually kept in an antique glass dome or perpex box for protection and
display.
