Obstruction

For my obstruction assignment, I decided to take on two different challenges. The two were a) an organic shape that didn't have straight lines and b) a textured finish that was not completely smooth. I have a tendency to stick to very geometric forms with either straight lines or perfect curves, and I'm okay with that. I like my aesthetic and the fact that if someone sees a piece I made, they generally know I made it. I want to explore organic shapes more, and I think I will do a few more studies in the next few weeks. As far as texture goes, I have mixed feelings. I really enjoyed utilizing the hammer texture with this piece, but I don't think it gave the same effect that I was thinking of. I believe I have more to explore with texture. I want to try some rolled samples also and see how that works out. Anyway, here's a picture -
