This blog is based on a collection of tape people sculptures.

When I was searching for a specific artist, it was hard to find more than one piece created by the same artist. I think that is because this type of art is pretty uncommon, but luckily, I will be creating one in my class soon.


I like that this piece has a lot of detail while being very simple. I like that the artist also used a prop, instead of just placing the piece in a place where it didn't get too much thought. Also, I this the rain boots are adorable.


 I think that my piece will be similar to this one. I would like it to be off the ground, or standing on one limb. While I was searching, I realised that there were no sculptures that involved a type of balance. I would like to create one that is unique and eye catching.

Brian Hubel is an artist who makes wooden sculptures that serve 
helpful functions, while remaining stylish and smooth.

Brian Hudel is inspired by the simple knots and defects in the wood. It's little things like these that give him the drive to make a beautiful piece out of a natural raw piece of the enviroment. 










Brian makes all different types of pieces. For example, these two photos of benches are hand crafted with walnut wood.


It is very common that people look at a piece and only think of the beauty that is clear and right infront of their eyes, but people don't realise how much work and time is invested into these projects.


These pieces were made out of walnut wood, which means that it must be retrieved before you could make anything out of it.

1.Having the Materials

These pieces would be sharp and splinter-y if they were completely natural.

2. Sanding down

In order to create pieces like these, most artists layout a visual image on paper before automatically beginning with wood. Sometimes these images take time and effort to create, 

3. Thought + Time

After many night of hand sanding, shaping, and place work, any artist would be exhausted and have sore muscles.

4. Physical effort

Projects like these take a lot more effort than people think. Along with the list above, these pieces probably took anywhere from 2 months to 5 months.
