Seems like every time I head over to Europe I see a Wire Fox Terrier, the kind of dogs I grew up with. Then right before I head home I see a Welsh Terrier, the kind of dog I have now.

As I was photographing this old wire fence, the old woman who lived in the house behind it popped out and told me I was looking at her "field of wishes," referring to all the dandelions :).

Wire sculpture by Isabel Espinoza

Here’s my attempt on the wire sculpture assignment. I decided to stick with the whole nature and/or Spring theme as from the previous assignment. Truly, do have a love for Spring and nature, which is why I decided to incorporate this theme onto this assignment. So, what doesn’t say Spring/nature without butterflies, color, and flower petals? Reasons why I decided to create this wire sculpture.

I knew during my brainstorming process that I didn’t want my sculpture to be bland and lifeless. As I was searching for ways to add life to my wire sculpture, I came across this art technique/craft called dipped wire. Where you take your wire sculpture/piece, dip it into wood glue [not once but twice throughout the process, maybe add some color if wanted, and let it set to dry. Which in the end, gives you a dipped wire sculpture/piece. I personally thought the idea was unique and what I needed to give my sculpture more life, which is why I decided to use this technique. The emphasis is on the dipped wire petals and/or the color. There’s a balance as well with the color the petals posses and the blandness of the butterfly wire sculpture. To keep the sculpture altogether, I used a half of a foam sphere. Those added details bring some sort of harmony onto the sculpture for those reasons are why I was pleased on how it turned out.
