Ricky Swallow - Younger Than Yesterday
The materials and methods Ricky Swallow used in creating this sculpture are interesting.
The material that the skull is made of is wood, and this gives it it’s dry feeling. The reality it depicts is far from the material chosen to represent it, wood not being bone, but in a sense it does relate as they are both organic materials.
Using woodworking tools and care in the crafting of this sculpture, Swallow had to carve the skull out of a block of wood. This would have taken considerable skill and time. Once the general shape of the figure had been formed, a sanding of the surface of the wood to make a smooth surface would have been done to make the sculpture as realistic as it does look.
Sidney Nolan - Kelly
This is a painting, paint on board. As this is a painting, there are limited materials that it could have been made out of. Mainly it is the techniques and ideas behind the artworks intent and purpose that allows Nolan to create his works.
The painting would have been done in a studio, on an easel. Using the paints and a brush, Nolan would have had to paint the picture onto board, building up the image as he intended.
