Tripod Creature - "Wyatt"

Artist Statement (Wyatt)

In my artwork, “Wyatt”, I use clay, metal, and items from nature to bring a creature from my imagination to life. The sculpture shows a figure with large ears, horns, and three legs adorned with earrings and holding a flowering staff, as if ready to embark on an adventure. Color and contrast establishes the face of the figure as the focal point. Texture can be seem on the creature's body and in the tree bark of the twig. I successfully used various techniques such as creating pinch pots, coil rolling, slab building, and scratching/slipping to create secure attachments. I aim to convey the sense of playfulness and adventure that can be found in nature via this artwork. This message is made clear through the character's friendly expression and pose, as well as the colors and textures designed to resemble a tree or other plant.
