Stitched Together Pencil Sculptures
Penguin May 2nd, 2008
From Wired:
Maestre was originally building with nails and a liquid rubber-type glue. She started to worry about inhaling all the toxic fumes, however, and began to experiment with different techniques until she settled on beading. Her method of choice? The peyote stitch.
Basilisk is one of Maestre’s most technically difficult sculptures because she wanted to create a more specific four-legged form. Depending on the size of the sculpture, it can take her up to two months to complete one sculpture.
Jennifer Maestre has a show coming up May 29- June 1 2008 at SOFA NYC with Mobilia gallery
