Ashley- Wood Project

 For this one I found an old sketch and thought it would be really cool to make out of wood. I would laminate it then sand it down. It was based off an old sketch I had (I can't find it) it was supposed to be a different rendition of the taurus sign. I think that this piece would really stand out in wood especially a darker wood, walnut, teak, or even white oak I think would look really cool. Taurus is a very grounded sign and one of the earth signs. I haven't found a location yet but ideally I would like it to be surrounded by greenery. I really like this idea and I would be extremely excited to work on this. I want one of the horns to go through the other, I think this would add some depth and would make it interesting. It deviates a little from the original sketch but I would need floating pieces if I based it off the original. I will upload it if I find it! I really liked this one image from the powerpoint (didn't see the name)

I also really liked Stephen Porder's work, just the shapes, one of them reminded me of my sketch.

Ashley,

So the sign of the taurus...love the shape.  the viewer will not see this as a taurus sign, esp. those of us with different signs.  With this said, the form is lovely and would work great in wood!  Look at the form.  It is one piece, but is pierced.  It is half of an infinity sign. It would be lovely in wood.  So think about how you would go about laminating this and make the maquette as you would in wood so you problem solve how to make it.  You have several options.

Look at Joshs' post for the images I posted of how he will make his head. You could do as Porder does, but think about the form and the direction of it vs using smaller pieces/chunks to laminate it together.
