Desire to be Free
These wings are based on the story of Icarus and how he flew too close to the sun. They are inspired by the work of Herbert James Drapers, Lament For Icarus. The size of the wings drew me to the project and taking the material and stretching it to its limits. The wing is made from Fosshape, a thermoplast material that has been heated and manipulated. Other material used include wire, wax, hot glue, hair, dirt, charcoal and ash.
