Start of copper wire sculpture

I started my wire sculpture. I decided on copper mesh because I preferred the colour. I began by cutting off and rolling up a rectangle piece of mesh and then sculpted the face from the photographs I had taken of the life model. I hung the images on the wall in sequence so that I could see the model at different angles.

I came to a problem when I wanted to attach another piece of mesh. I used a sewing technique using strips of wire mesh that had fallen off when cutting off chunks of mesh. I only fixed them loosely at first because I knew that I would need to change the positioning of the attachment because the positioning of the attchments was important to supporting areas of the sculpture.
