Gibbens-Hoffman-Self-Moore
Our work has been focused on two major bodies. There’s the natural aspect: gathering sticks, moss, as well as other natural resources to create the main skeleton of the sculpture. Our other main focus has been creating the crocheted and sewn pieces in the studio, crafting with yarn, fabrics, and other unnatural resources. These handcrafted pieces will be used to adorn the sculpture created outside.
Working outside, we discovered how difficult it can be to construct using only natural materials. Because our main body is made up only of things found in the natural world around us, it was difficult to get everything to balance and look the way we intended. Getting our materials to the site has also been a challenge; we had to bring up large branches and limbs to create the skeleton of the “nest”.
