Cheeseburn – North East Young Sculptor of the Year Award

Posted on 23/05/2016 Updated on 23/05/2016

I entered a competition back in November last year for a chance to win £5000 to build a sculpture for the grounds of Cheeseburn. Around Christmas time I got an email saying that I was one of the nine people that had got short-listed for the competition. When the new year came round, I was given £300 to research, design and construct my proposal idea for what I wanted to build if I was to win. Now, there is an exhibition on at Cheeseburn containing all the short listed artists proposals.

My proposal is to create a large perspex structure that will dominate the space, and will be an almost alien sight on the grounds at Cheeseburn. Whilst the sculpture will dominate the space, I want to encourage the visitors to take a closer look at the structure and discover the 3D printed objects displayed within. These 3D printed objects will consist of alien like devices and shapes, while some will be representations of the grounds themselves.

The winner will be chosen on 30th May 2016. To vote for your favourite, follow the link that will take you to the facebook voting.
