Artist's Comments

the weightless soul
adrift
into infinity...
its shell,
the chain,
an empty heart,
in mind
serenity




Mixed media sculpture:
The upper body is made out of very light modeling clay, the cloth is hardened with super glue (if you ever do this, open the window and DON'T inhale the vapors). There's a metal tube inside the cloth holding the whole thing in the air. The chain is sustained by a metal wire and so is the piece of cloth that's floating.
The sculpture is about 50cm high.

I would like to thank ^Thebuild for the DD and all who faved and commented on this

I love the simplicity of Weightless by *NegativeFeedback, leaving details such as the face blank helps the viewer to focus more on the theme of the sculpt. The thin flowing cloth along with the pose helps create a sense of weightlessness with only the chain securing the figure to the ground and preventing it from drifting off. (Featured by ^Thebuild)

This is beautiful, it really does feel weightless.

The problem with reality is the lack of background music.

Very nice - really like how it seems to convey weight and weightlessness at the same time. The hardened cloth is a neat approach. Have often gotten hampered in some of my own sculptural efforts with how to anchor a piece to the a base in a way to works well.
