I’m so in love with this work by Maria Kristofersson. It’s basically the aesthetic I’ve been dreaming of for a body of work I’ve been working on since January, but I hadn’t quite gotten there. I guess there is no need now as it already exist in the world! So lovely. It’s sorta Ayumi Horie meets old country vintage. Love, love love.
FIGURATIVE SCULPTURE: REAL LIFE TO INSPIRE ART
Instructor: Sharon Moore-Foster
July 12 to July 16, 2010
Experience Level: all skill levels welcome
Course Fee: $525 + $26.25 GST
Monday to Friday, 9 am to 4 pm, Room 954 Working from a model, you will learn techniques to accurately create figurative sculpture. You will begin by creating gestural clay pieces from short poses, to help you develop an eye for the “life and breath” that makes figurative sculpture such an inviting challenge. Longer poses will follow, with directed observation of anatomy, proportion, sculptural shape, and balance will allow you to create more detailed pieces. Throughout the week you will experience drawing for sculpture and receive individual guidance on form and expression, sculptural dynamics, surface handling and closure of your pieces.

Design Boom recently posted an article about the work and process of Djim Berger and by reading the comments at the end of the article I guess I wasn’t the only one left wondering…
