This sculpture by Pasty Cox (Progated Red) is similar to the structure I would like to make. I like how this looks so yummy and like it's made of chocolate and not clay.
K. Drake makes these conglomerations of stacked clay. This piece is very close to the natural spiral form that I would like to make from the hard edge shape of the individual bullets.
Tony Cragg also makes a similar type of stacked spiral form. This piece has a nice movement to it and it seems like it takes the form of a face. Really cool. I like how he worked the clay to be smooth and appear as if it was carved from black onyx.
These really have nothing to do with what I want to make but I thought they were so creepy-cool that you all might enjoy them! They are by Ronit Baranga.
