Fish Totem

MOME Open Day, 2017
This giant fish monster was inspired by my childhood fear of the slimy bodies of fish touching me while I cannot see them underwater.
At first, I created a clay model of a fish, then I used papermache technique to transform the 3D shape into a 2D flat pattern. This method made it possible for me to build the giant version of the sculpture cutting out the enlarged patterns from polyfoam.
