Very interesting, pleased from the pencils, admire themselves.
Jennifer Maestre creates strange and extraterrestrial representatives of flora and fauna from pointed pencils, giving them an attractive, and at the same time dangerous and even repulsing appearance.
Initially, the idea of creating such sculptures Jennifer Maestre inspired the type of sea hedgehog. The spikes of the hedgehog, dangerous and at the same time attractive, serve as an explicit warning not to touch the mollusk. But as often, people and animals, the needy needed by the needles texture still decide on touch, despite the obvious danger.
The pencil turned out to be a great material for creating sharp and smooth surfaces and surface textures.
Each sculpture leaves more than a hundred pencils. Previously, each pencil is cut to the desired length, a hole is drilled in it, the tip is sharpened with a sharpening, the groups of pencils are collected in spheres and hemispheres, the final type of sculpture is formed and everything is sewn. Titanic work!
Now the artist finds inspiration and ideas in animals, plants, mollusks, mythology and fantastic literature. Sometimes one sculpture inspires to create another, or a perfect error in the design gives a new push in another direction.
A vivid example of what you can find an idea in the surrounding everyday life, in household items. Do not be afraid to experiment!
