Strength

Thea, Age 7

• Sculpture
• Wire, plastic, paper, masking tape, papier-mâché, acrylic paint
• 230(w) 360(h) 150(d) mm

Inspired by Niki de Saint Phalle’s Nana sculptures and Keith Haring’s dancing figures. I drew my friends dancing to music before designing my sculpture. Then, I formed the wire into the shape of the body, screwed it into a board then added the other materials and paint. I called it 'Strength' because of the muscles it is showing off.
