Priley Riley, Swan sculpture, 25th November 2013

To make this sculpture, I drew the swans onto MDF and cut them out using a band saw. I then used a belt sander to make the edges more accurate, and fixed them onto a block of MDF so that the two swans at the front are fixed to the block and the other two are raised from it. I did this to add height to the piece, which allows all of the swans to be seen when the sculpture is viewed at eye-level. I also made sure that there was a gap of 1-2cm between each of the swans to add depth to the piece.
