Making a Sculpture out of TIRES // Carving and Sculpting an Octopus
I used recycled tires to create an octopus tire sculpture. The sculpture started with welding steel armature. Once the frame was fabricated I used insulation foam for the inner structure. I did a full foam carving using a knife and other power tools. Once the form was complete I sent the octopus out for fiberglassing. I teamed up with Becca Barnet (fellow NBC’s ’Making it’ contestant) to do custom eyes. She did an amazing job, creating the octopus eyes out of glass spheres with resin painted and backfilled. Once I received the eyes I installed them and then began the tire process. I used all stainless steel reinforcements because this sculpture will be displayed outdoors. What do you guys think?
