Wire sculpture

• My twisted hobby •

Wire sculpture is the creation of sculpture or jewelry (sometimes called wire wrap jewelry) out of wire. The use of metal wire in jewelry dates back to the 2nd Dynasty in Egypt and to the Bronze and Iron Ages in Europe. In the 20th century, the works of Alexander Calder, Ruth Asawa, and other modern practitioners developed the medium of wire sculpture as an art form. Read more on Wikipedia.

I acquainted myself with wire sculpture almost accidentally. I liked to fold origami and played with clay in my childhood. From that time I had experimented a lot with different materials. And just happened that 8 years ago I was thinking about throwing away a rusted skein of wire, that I find in my stuff from the university times, but instead the idea of creating a something spatial and animal-shaped was born. My first sculpture was a sea turtle. You can see more of my works on Instagram.
