Tim Sterling

Since I'm exploring the idea of expanding on some of my previous work, I will be looking at some artists that work with small identical modules to build larger works through repetitious processes. Hopefully I'll be able to draw some inspiration from these

Tim Sterling also uses paperclips, but in a way in which they are easily recognisable. It might be an idea to look into different ways I could attach the paperclips without using pre existing options i.e twisting, weaving


The Image
My immediate thought is that the wall is in danger of being drawn on. This is a beautiful form - one I wouldn't have though would hold it's shape being made only out of cable ties and pencil stubs. It's quite a controlled structure - I'm not sure I would enjoy that. From my work with paperclips, I loved the spontaneous forms that would occur and how it would grow in an organic way as I built on it, without any careful methods or measurements.


Hesse's Table
I wouldn't have thought, but this is also made out of paperclips and cable ties. It's a far more dense a formation, which is probably what threw me.


Hole In The Wall
Made from PVC pipe and wire rope. It's very architectural, and again quite a structured formation. While this isn't what I want for my work, it's good to consider alternative ways of connecting materials


Flowers
In my experimentation with paperclips I have woven them exactly like this in a square formation. The result is beautiful, but easily tangled and shifts very easily
