To celebrate May Day and The Crouch End Festival 2012, Leona and one of her assistants from Artist's Resource went to Stationers Park, N8, to make a life size Sculpture of a sheep! But not just any sheep - a psychedelic one!
You can Watch the video of the making of the Psychedelic Sheep Sculpture by clicking on this photo below:
Leona and Miriam started off in Hornsey Vale Community Centre, making the main structure of the sheep. We used wiremesh, wire and newspaper to construct the sheeps body, head, legs, tail and decorative swirls on it's back to represent the wooly coat.
When the wire stage was complete, we took the sculpture outside to start on the plaster stage with the public. Anyone could join in! It was so much fun meeting local parents and children who all helped cover the sheep in plaster.
When the plaster had dried, we went onto the next stage - covering it with 100's of squares of fabric! We had so many gorgeous fabrics to choose from! Everyone had lots of fun gluing their chosen fabric squares onto the sheep sculpture.
When the sculpture was complete, we donated the finished piece to Hornsey Vale Community Centre, N8 so that everyone who visits this fabulous place can see and enjoy all our hard work.
Well done everyone!
