An Investigation of the Relationship Between Scale, Form, and Technique in Welded Steel Sculpture

The problem of this investigation was to determine if there was a relationship between scale, forma and technique in the making of welded steel sculpture, and to determine the best method(s) of working on three size categories and in two basic categories of form. The size categories were two to four feet, four to eight feet and over eight feet in any dimension with the other dimensions such that the sculpture enclosed a volume of space. The two categories of form were geometric or inorganic (forms based on geometry or mathematics) and organic (forms found in, or resembling those in nature). The effects of scale, form, and technique(s) in the production of these sculptures were observed and a determination was made concerning which technique presented the most advantageous approach to the creation of welded steel sculpture in each category.

A Study of the Effect of Subject on Content

For my Problem in-lieu-of-thesis, I proposed to execute a related body of work using "horse" as subject. It was my intent to investigate what effects the limits of "horse" instead of "figure" had on the content of my work.
