SCULPTURE

The term Sculpture is today employed in a wider and more inclusive sense. Sculpture is involved in an ‘expanded field’ of installation assemblage and the like. It embraces an abundance of material and methods. In general these methods fall in to categories of sculpting, mould making, joining, fixing and constructing. Apart from conventional material like stone, metal, wood and terracotta, endless man-made and industrial products are in practice. This reflects present culture, environment and global society in Contemporary Art.
