Final piece. Last day of WARP

This was our last in-depth assignment our last piece for warp. Because this was the last it had to be better than all the other stuff I produced. We also had no restrictions on this assignment. For the final I decided to go with a sculpture because a painting would be too safe and I've noticed that my sculptures are liked a bit more than my paintings.
       I made a large unicorn skull decorated with real insects that I caught and displayed. The unicorn skull is pure self harding clay and I used a wooden dowel to attach the horn. The skull took forever to dry, I even had to put it in the oven to speed up the drying. I struggled very much with the color scheme either realistic or fantastical but I choose fantastical and made it pink. The pink unicorn skull contrasted the reality of the insects and also the piece represent me, my love for unicorns, skulls (taxidermy) and insects. Im proud of this piece.
