Morris/Gormley Inspired Sculptures

This piece was inspired by Robert Morris's 'Imprints and Body Casts,' (1963-64). Each individual sculpture was made by squeezing it with force with my fist. I view this as a self portrait as it is an imprint made by me. I was interested in Anthony Gormley's work, 'Field' during this time as I liked the way he used a vast volume of figuritive sculptures to create an atmospheric space. I thought this idea would work well with this piece also so I proposed this to my tutors during my first year at the GSA.
