What Do You Think Of My Sculptures?

[Chekhonte]

[Chekhonte]

they are ceramic

[Chekhonte]

they uncomfortably wed forms reminiscent of flesh and earth.

EDIT: they are non-representational.

[Chekhonte]

thanks, I was expecting to get dissed.

EDIT: Also, i made 128 of them so far and when I have time I will wall mount them in two 8 x 8 grid patterns.

For some strange reason it reminded me of Qin Shi Huang's terra cotta warriors and horses.

Perhaps that's what their buttholes look like.

[Chekhonte]

i'd be interested in seeing the installation.

I'll take pictures when I'm done and post them in this thread. I don't think I'll be able to do it until late january though.

[Chekhonte]

i was going to say something similar, but i restrained myself.

i like the ones that are reminiscent of little snippets of intestinal loops.

My sculpture prof. and I were cracking up when I first started making them because of how orifice like they are. The process of making them doesn't let me control how they ultimately look and most of the time they turn out looking like some invaginated form. I really enjoy things that make people, including myself, feel gross and perverted. These tend to do that to a lot of people. What really wierds me out is that my mom really likes them and wants to buy them off of me.

It's embarrassingly simple. I role a thick coil out, fold it into a doughnut and then start to drop it from about 10 inches over and over while rotating it. 2 out of 10 times it makes an interesting shape. I then use copper oxide to accentuate the folds and glaze the side with majolica mixed with porcelain to give in the dull sheen of ivory on the sides. I also use square and eliptical coils for different effects.

What are the dimensions? They are cool and although there is the uncomfortable orifice reminiscence, they also bring to mind simian or elephantine facial and other physical features, including buttholes.

I think a bunch of those projecting out from a blank wall could be quite stunning. Good luck and make sure you post more pics of the installation.

It's funny that you brought up elephantine features. One of the things they remind me of (besides buttholes) are elephant or mammoth molars although only marginally. Since they are reminiscent of both flesh and earth, they remind people of all kinds of textures found in nature. For better or worse they are definitely the best things I've made.

EDIT: the dimensions range from 5 to 7 inches tall and 3 to 5 inches wide.

Hmmm, three out of four posters, including the OP see anal orifices. What does that say about HeadCase? Yes, I agree I am a bit weird.

[Chekhonte]

it says that many of us were banned from head-fi.

I feel old when I look at those...hmm... not sure what to say...

You have to stop watching 70+ porn to get such ideas:palm:

A few years ago a friend of mine sent me a gif of a orgy of guys in their 70's. It really made me reconsider what kind of world I was actually living in all while laughing my ass off.

[Jeepster]

Couldnt you make them out of rubber and mount the frame about 3 feet off the ground?

Seriously, looks cool, post the final shit!

My first thought was that they were elephant dung.

[Beefy]

Another vote for sphincters here

But I can imagine how a large installation of them would look very...... earthy......?

[JBLoudG20]

Buttholes!

[John E Woven]

at first I thought you were making anal fleshlights.

Then I read the thread. Pretty neat things you got going on there.

[swt61]

I like them, and if you had enough of them mounted on a wall they'd deaden a room quite effectively too.

don't worry, i would have dissed you if your answer to my question had been "fluttery birds and innocent happiness."

Shit! I guess I won't post my sculpture now. Mine was "fluttery happiness and innocent birds" but still...

Hey guys, let me butt in here. Hope I'm not an ass for just catching wind of this. Some of the pieces seem tough, and have human qualities and personalities, & remind me of a real hard-ass I used to know. Others seem kind of sissy, like my neighbor's cat. Overall I'd say they look nice and strong enough to resist cracking. The glaze should help, and keep your ass covered from any potential damage or penetration.
