Researching into natural forms really gave me inspiration to create sculptures in this way. After the first workshop with Sweeney i went aways with a lot of ideas and methods so by looking at the Earths natural forms I started to create flowing smooth paper sculptures. As task 1 was to create sculptures which were repeated patterns and repartition I looked at patterns which continuously repeat them self in real life.
The sea was the first form I looked at. The curves are beautiful, they fall back on them selves and repeat and repeat as the sea is a constant tide.
Secondary natural form was trees. Especially in winter as the bare branches create very structural shapes and patterns. The winter trees give me an impression of post modernism as its been stripped of it's form and has become functional. Creating my own impression of this will be hard to achieve, as getting the bare cold feeling cant be done by just a few branches on a piece of paper, maybe a series of tree could work in my paper sculpture.
The ripples in sand is a great example of an natural form which repeats and repatriates. The curving lines one after the other creates a very minimal effect as not much is required for this image to look good because the ripples alone create the image.
Leaves also are a great form. Each leave has a characteristics of it's own but they all follow are certain brief structure. The veins running through each give it is identity to recognise it's a leaf.
Finally I choose to look at mountain formation, this is very important as these formation have been around before any of out times. The peaks give great shapes and could be made from paper rather simply. Each peak is different but just like the leaves they all follow a certain form which is a "peak".
