Reflection and Rebellion A Loudspeaker project Autumn 2021

Columns
We looked at repetitive column sculptures
by Erika Verzutti in the gallery, which
are inspired by Constantine Brancusi’s
sculpture ‘Endless Column’. We each made
towers from paper, sat on the floor next to
Erika’s sculpture.
Working in three groups, we then made
our own towers, and utilising each other’s
skills and knowledge. We built our towers
out of coloured card around a bamboo
cane fixed into a base, using scissors,
staples and tape.
Erika took her ideas from an existing
artwork, while we took inspiration from
each other to achieve a common goal. All
three towers had the members of each
group’s individuality showing through.

“It gave me a chance to play with
materials and challenged me as I
didn’t want to use tape.”
