Zach Howe - Project 3

What and how I created it.

The Curling Iron was a very interesting and challenging object to make out of found materials. I got really

lucky when I found two cardboard cylinders in repo on the first day of the project. Yet even with the two

cylinders I had to make the bends and curves in the handle of the object. I came up with this amazing idea at

the time and that was to use plastic bottles to get more mass on the piece, yet when I started to assemble it

the curling Iron wasn't turning out the way I hoped. Which was to leave it uncovered, I just didn't like the

fact that it looked like trash. So I then thought I would be able to cover it with paper and be perfectly fine but

when I got done with covering it with paper I realized that yes it looked better but I have time and I have

Red duck tape in my room and I know my friend has silver so maybe I can cover the paper. When I started

covering the paper I was really hoping it would pull the paper in towards the cylinder so that way more of

the shape would be seen. I finally got down with the duck taping and I still had time to add some more

details. So I added as much of the details that i could measure from my perfect object on to the sculpture.

What I thought of my piece.

When I started this project I really didn't like it at all but as the process went on I started to enjoy it more

and more. This made me want to go to the studio more, so I did. At the end of it all I was really pleased with

what I had created and was excited for critique on Monday.
