Shape of a Scent

For our first studio class in IDES1031, we were separated into groups and each group given a different perfume scent. We discussed our thoughts on what we smelt and what we associated with the scent. Following this brainstorming activity, we were required to sculpt a plasticine "bottle" based on our individual interpretation of the scent.

Our group agreed that the scent had a 'spice' to it and we associated many elements of earth such as stone, wood and clay with the scent. Its texture could be represented as rough so I created this bowl of spices to represent the scent and its texture.
