Component Sculpting

You might look at the sculptural work  below and think “How complex! That must be a lot of work.” It is a beautifully complex piece but it’s not that hard.

If you make a series of forms and repeat them, changing their orientation, size, color, etc., you can create what appears to be very complex pieces from easily formed components. These shapes you see below are what artist Anna Anpilogova of Minsk, Belarus used to create her bracelet. Just some clay balls, clay teardrops and tapered ropes. Quick and easy sculpting with great end results when you put them all together.
