How do artists balance flexibility and rigidity in large-scale rattan abstract sculptures?
Creating large-scale rattan abstract sculptures requires a delicate balance between flexibility and rigidity. Artists must harness the natural pliability of rattan while ensuring structural stability. This involves strategic weaving techniques, careful material selection, and an understanding of tension and support. The flexibility allows for organic, flowing forms, while rigidity ensures the sculpture maintains its shape over time. Mastery of this balance results in stunning, durable artworks that captivate viewers with their dynamic yet stable presence.
