SOFT SCULPTURE PROPOSAL FOR THE BEECHWORTH CONTEMPORARY ART PRIZE
As an emerging artist I haven’t had the opportunity to create any large soft sculptures to show you. Instead, I have created this webpage with a concept sketch of the proposed sculpture pair and have begun work on a 1:3 scale test model of the male moth so you can see my capabilities. I will finish my Male Moth even if I am not selected for your exhibition, I’m sure I have many students and visitors to my studio that will get a kick out of him anyway so no hard feelings. xo - Pinky
