Abstract
The works in the Master's Thesis exhibition are the result of the past five months of growth and study. The thesis represents the experimentation with the human figure as fragmented form in space, in relationship with a spontaneous intuitive approach to the casting process. Throughout the creative act, an attempt has been made to utilize the various steps of the casting procedure (modeling, mold making, wax, investing) in such a manner that they become essential in the communication of a spontaneous and immediate attitude. To further convey a spontaneity in approach, traditional attitudes of refining the work have been replaced with a selective approach to the finishing process. In each of the individual works, a variable use of color has been used in order to convey a natural aging process.
