Art From Ordinary Objects - Pencil Sculpture is Fearsome but Beautiful (GALLERY)
Pencil Sculpture is Fearsome but Beautiful

How can common objects become amazing art ?  The pencil sculpture is created by Jennifer Maestre.  Her originally idea inspired by the form and function of the sea urchin.  She describes, “The spines of the urchin, so dangerous yet beautiful, serve as an explicit warning against contact. The alluring texture of the spines draws the touch in spite of the possible consequences. The tension unveiled, we feel push and pull, desire and repulsion. The sections of pencils present aspects of sharp and smooth for two very different textural and aesthetic experiences. Paradox and surprise are integral in my choice of materials. To make the pencil sculptures, I take hundreds of pencils, cut them into 1-inch sections, drill a hole in each section (to turn them into beads), sharpen them all and sew them together. The beading technique I rely on most is peyote stitch.”
