A small statue but big endeavor. As may have been obvious, I do a lot with the representation of binary by using stainless steel staples and copper cut tacks. This statue shall literally be covered in them, and it will translate to something in a paragraph form. Sculpture? Yes. Tedious? Definitely. My emotion is to run straight into this, but that poses problems. One is that the polymer could become brittle when exposed to air too long. I don’t have enough staples and tacks to cover it just yet. Also, the uncertainty of how the copper, steel, aluminum, and polymer will react together when baked. Indeed, I’m reminded that as a child I wanted to walk before I could crawl.
