Artist Statement:
Asta is a creature designed to protect smaller creatures from predators within forest regions. Its habitat ranges from open forest areas, with high rain falls and tall tree canopies. It’s body enables it to move like a snake, whilst its legs assist with movement and climbing ability. It has an amazing ability to camouflage, making it hard to find and hard for predators to see it.
In creating this piece, I research many unusual and amazing creatures that I found interesting. I examined physical and behavioural features which influenced my overall design of this creature. I used paper mache pulp and Modroc to construct the main form of this piece. To create a natural finish on my product, I painstakingly used tweezers to apply small twigs and leaves, one by one. Cutting the twigs to size and then layering them over body, I used scaling technique to achieve full coverage. I wanted to more detail within the legs and face, thus by using tiny leaves, I was able to maintain a scaled technique and achieve interesting delicate texture.
