ABSTRACT
Sculpting is one such technique involving the adoption of a physical position
to show an action, feeling or relationship. The adopted pose must convey
something that may be based in reality but is essentially imagined. Examples of
sculpts would be: the physical act of pushing something, conveying through
body language the feeling of anger, the relationship between a mother and
child. Individuals can create their own sculpts by freezing their body position
and facial expression, or they can be moulded by another person. The effect is
of a statue which can be appreciated by others, walked around, viewed from
different angles and brought to life. It is possible to make group sculpts, where
people are positioned in relation to each other, to create a scene or ‘tableau’.
