Inspiration


"Undertale" created by Toby Fox

Artist Statement 

This sculpture is based off an indie video game titled “Undertale.”  I was inspired by the underground cavern that is portrayed in this game. The cavern is significant because the space is associated with sensations of serenity, and solitude. Such a moment of peace and reflection are simulated in my sculpture. The main statue sits alone, surrounded by stalagmites and mushrooms, overlooking the calm water to mirror the feelings of isolation. The glue running down the stalagmite’s pillars mimics the water trickling down the rocky surface in this damp and secluded environment. This sculpture pushed me to act more boldly and experiment with a variety of different materials. I used ground pepper and mustard seed mixed with the play-dough to create a texture to suggest boulders. The horizontal line pattern in the background suggests the layers of earth one would be surrounded by in a cavern.
