As the towels had been donated to me, I kept making pieces until I had ran out of towels and ended up with 43 pieces of differing sizes which are now ready to be assembled into one Final Sculpture – this will be completed in college on Assessment Day.

Creating the Final Piece
Due to lack of towels, I posted on Facebook requesting donations of towels from friends and received about 10 towels altogether.
Initially a bit sceptical about the colours of the towels, black, blue, grey, green and peach, I decided to get started creating more individual sculptures of differing shapes and sizes.
I felt that the original maquette wasn’t quite natural enough and decided to rip the towels into pieces instead of cutting them – this was a really good move and the sculpture pieces appear more natural now.
My kitchen sink was my work area and my draining board the initial drying zone where I placed the towels over bottles to set.
After about 20 minutes I then placed the pieces outside to dry further.
