I chose an owl from the Street of Shops for my item to mold. It looks like it is made out of wood but I cannot figure out what it really is. My object shows the human fascination of nature and desire to replicate its beauty. The owl is sort of a mysterious creature, it is a nocturnal animal that is rarely seen. The owl has the ability to turn its head completely backwards. This can be almost seen in my item where even though his head isn’t completely backwards it would be an extreme angle for a human head. This hints at the owls watchful presence. The owl is rarely seen but seems as if it always sees. I would love to explore capturing this in my project.
