Sculpture elective.

After Starting the sculpture elective we recieved a brief based upon the five senses. I picked hearing, focusing in on communication, speech and gossip. As a recurring representation for gossip I used feathers. This stemmed from an old wives tale about a woman who visited a priest and confessed to gossiping. The priest told her to take a feather pillow to the top floor of her building and stab it repeatedly. When the woman returned to the priest he asked her what had happened. She replied that feathers scattered everywhere in different directions. The priest then asked her to pick them all up, to which she responded thats impossible. The priest took anger in telling her that this is gossip.
