Wire Structure

Once the wooden framework was finished, I was able to move on and begin the chicken wire base. This will be the foundation of the mod rock, fabric, plastic etc. I begin to work with.
I cut the two meters of wire into manageable chunks using wire cutters, then started arranging and stapling them into place. At first I considered using hot glue to secure the wire in place, but realised this would be messier and a lot more time consuming. Staples worked surprisingly well! And anything I couldn't staple, (e.g. panels of the wire further up the sculpture,) I could attach together using small bendy lengths of wire; looping them through the two sections and twisting.
For creases, folds or bends I wanted to achieve with the wire I used the same technique of pulling two sections of chicken wire together, then using a smaller cord to hold the manipulation of material in place.
