Second Sculpture

 

 

 

~Additive & Subtractive Process~

I added metal eyelets to the sculpture (additive)

 

 

I then added sticks in the center of the eyelets (additive)

 

Pulling vines from a bush, I weaved them in between the sticks (additive)

 

 

 Then, I picked up broken beer bottle pieces on the ground and stuck them in the soap (additive)

By adding the sculpture into bleach I subtracted color from the vines (subtractive)

 

 

 

I put the sculpture in a frying pan with rubbing alcohol and lit it on fire, subtracting the leafs (subtractive)

 

 

  I then chopped off the limbs (subtractive)

I then threw away all of the glass pieces and put all of the other pieces in a plastic bag, wrapping it in tin foil (subtractive & additive)

 

  

After I wrapped it up I added more heat and plastic causing it to melt (additive)

 

 

The final product ended up as this figure
