The Image of a Sculpture.

'NN' & Womb in progress. 

As I've mentioned a couple of times about how my paintings inform my sculpture and visa versa, today I've decided to give a clear example of this process. I chose to base elements of this Womb sculpture on the first painting in the Apophenia Series, 'NN'. Although this painting is purely flat abstraction, I do believe that it maintains a strong sculptural form. 

Obviously when taking references from a 2D image of any kind to influence a 3D form there is only so much information available to you. In this case it might be slightly, easier is the wrong word, but perhaps fluid, as I am referencing one of my own abstract paintings to create my sculpture. There is something innate in me when considering my painting that allows me to develop it into a scuptural form.
