Craft: transforming traditional crafts

This was my final project for my 3D fibers class taught by artist Jerry Bleem. It's an iceberg, and I made it using a knotless netting technique and stiffened it over a cardboard form with fabric stiffener and acrylic paint. The sculpture is completed with a polar bear made out of ice (cast using a mold, not carved), which slowly melts through the sterling silver drain. The second photo is by Matt Mets.
