Words: Pumpkin / sculpture
First I wanted to do an actual sculpture, but I couldn’t find the right medium, so I decided to draw the sculptures.
You might wonder why I chose a shrimp, a cat and something that doesn’t have a clear shape (it is a knee). It might look like these objects have no direct relationship with pumpkin as a theme, and they don’t. But for me, these sculptures are describing something, actually, someone. I was really unsure of what to do, my first idea was to do something pumkin carving related, but I didn’t like the idea. I was exploring so many different ideas that I got overwhelmed. So I decided to start a completly new project with my first thought about pumpkin. You see, when the word pumpkin appeared on my screen, my first thought was my sister. This might not make sense at first glance, but I does for me. She loves pumpkin spice latte, and she lets EVERYONE know this about her, and I have been talking to her lately. I decided to draw the sculptures of things that remind me of her. These are things she likes, things I tease her about and something about her life. She loves sphynx cats, I joke about her sitting like a shrimp (I hope she doesn’t read this post) and she had an important knee surgery some years ago.
This is the cat I used as reference 🙂
