A Little A Level Work.

I know this might seem a bit dated but I can't boast about this work enough. This was one of my favourite projects of all time. Inspired by British Artist "Robert Bradford" who makes sculptures from toys I made these sculptures of my own:

The first was this puppy made from jig-saws:

After this came the "Button Bunny". Yes, you guessed it, a rabbit made mainly from buttons (the most tedious and time consuming piece of work ever):

For my final exam piece I did a series of three smaller sculptures representing different age periods throughout a person's life. The first is a giraffe made from mainly sweets and other things associated with childhood, unfortunately I don't have photographs of the second one but that was a rabbit made from bottle tops from alcoholic drinks and other things associated with adolescence and the final in the series is a small puppy made from jig-saw pieces and other items associated with old age such as glasses and tablets. See what you can spot in the images below, I like to think some of the items are quite clever and witty:

I think I found this project so stimulating because of my obsession with nostalgia. I really enjoyed playing with the jig-saws, toys and other bric-a-brac I worked with throughout this project.
