Materiality and Form #241

One of the things I liked most about Patricia Piccinini was the way her sculptures used texture as well as form to emphasise her objects. The first lot of designs by patricia as posted earlier I liked because of their form. Especially those involving her Vespas. However her works in the Bronzes was where I really liked her use of texture.
I liked that these sculptures were both shiny and rough. They looked smooth but they have an element of jaggedness, having many peaks and troughs which reflect the light off the Bronze in a very interesting way.
