Cubist Sculpture




This is my version of Picasso's 'Bust of a Woman Wearing a Striped Hat.' It is made from discarded cardboard and a ton of hot gluegun sticks and acrylic paint. I found that if you soak the cardboard in water, you can shape it in ways that are nearly impossible if you try to shape it dry. portions of this had no tape or glue because as one piece was drying, I'd overlay another piece of wet cardboard to it. Cardboard already has some glue in it, so layers upon layers of cardboard forced it to harden as a single piece.
