Industrial arachnophobia
The final piece in this series was inspired by Louise Bourgeois and the common fear of arachnophobia. I created the body of the spider using clay in a syringe-type mechanism, which I then pushed out to create the foundation of the body. After firing, I painted the body with grey acrylic paint. I then made the midsection using metal wiring, which I wrapped with brown pipe cleaner. The legs of the spider were made by braiding different shades of brown pipe cleaners together and bending them to mimic spider legs. I made the head using a hot glue gun and red beads. I then attached the spider to a metal mesh door to take photos, as the metal caging represented a spider's web. Finally, I did an observational pencil drawing of the spider.
