For this project we used Butterfield's style of creating sculptures. We went into the woods and found materials to make shoe sculptures. For mine we used screws because of our large scale. We created the tongue of the shoe, and then the rest of the outline. After that we filled in the empty spaces and then added Nike branding.

I like this project because we essentially went from nothing but sticks to a sculpture. Me and Tyler got to work together because we did a large scale sculpture. We liked how butterfield used larger pieces with less filler in some of her horse sculptures, so we attempted to imitate that. The challenging part was working with the natural wood, because it would crack and split as it dried. It was also difficult to find pieces in the natural shapes we needed.
