Artist's Comments

A piece I put in scraps because I dont want it shown too much. Its a sculpture made of allsorts of simple things. The figure pushing forward the roll of carpet is meant to represent death. While it crushes down the path of life symbolized by the wooden doors, a thin small man stands at the end of the path in which it ends, waiting to be crushed down. This is my approach to the inevatibility (hope I spelt that right) of death for each individual. To express it further I built a rib cage like structure on the outside to act as a sort of containment, while making the shape coffin like. The outside browness is meant to be the earth, with the contents inside shown as if sinking down along with the rib cage digging into the earth, as if being burried.
Materials I used were, balsa wood, paper, corregated card and foam.

I like this angle, you can really see all of the details and the time you took into making this. Great job working with the cardboard, I like the effect the corrugation creates and the figure, despite being made out of flimsy material, really does look like he's exerting force on the carpet.
