Artform: Sculpture
This is a paper sculpture by Jodie Carey. I found her work via Axisweb. I would love to see her work up close. It is so meticulously crafted. It just shows how you can turn an ordinary material into something spectacular. Not sure where the blood came from. No doubt there was some sweat involved as well. Her website shows lots more photos of her work. Sanna Moore said that "Carey’s sculpture plays with extremes, juxtaposing monumental scale with the intricacy of craftsmanship. Her installations are immersive spaces which confront the viewer with the sheer physicality of the objects and the labour intensity of their construction. It celebrates both life and death and considers what it means to be human"
