We called this sculpture as ‘fat’ not because itself is fat nor do us the sculptor, it’s just simply the ingredient that we used to finished this sculpture after carving it out from 2D Styrofoam into almost-perfect 3D Styrofoam sculpture is what we called as ‘butter’. Butter naturally is fat and always will be, this is our main reason for the name.
About the shape of our choice, we already chose this peacock-like shape from what we observed and surveyed before we decided to work it out. Well, some of our friends did called our sculpture with various name, some called it “Merak Kayangan” and our personal favourite, “The Road Runner”. Although it’s our favourite, the entire visitor on our blog can call it by any name they like. Discussing about the name, me and my partner have chosen “Golden Peacock”, well obviously for its colour.
This ‘peacock’ actually our second and last resort after our “Sand Castle” idea was a ‘bad’ idea to be carried on the ‘construction’. As we discovered along with the help of our chef, this castle will need a lot of texture which will be a lot of hard work for the two of us, it is an ‘abandoned ship’ on the second week of construction.
With the remaining of 2 more blocks of Styrofoam that was still available (back then), we decided to carry on our last idea for this syllabus (before we fail this topic..). At first, the drawing and cutting needs a lot of attention and, not to mention, a lot of energy (especially on the cutting of the block)
Not as complicated as the castle, we slowly cut and carved the block that was slowly appears to be what as we called as the Golden Peacock. Once the shape is complete (after the sanding process) on the same day which is our 2nd day after carving the new idea, we coated it with the butter straight away, left all the other group behind in coating the sculpture.
