Abstract A b s tr a c t
he sensibility of materials, its significant negotiations and engagement in Tthe realization of forms and the contemplation of ideas which is a critical
process in the creation of artworks is an object of concern to the artists
and sculptors in particular. The diversifications of materials in sculpture are
trending and identification concerning techniques and skills has problematized
the engagement of materials. The inclusion of unconventional materials and
their unique applications has enlarged the discourse on the definition of art and
its products. The visual and perceptual powers of the artist and psychoanalytic
implications are identified as cause-effect in the process of realization of forms
through assemblage and, or composition of form. This study is hinged on
contributing to the concern of deployment of materials and realization of form.
Hence, the need for observation of artworks and processes of deployment of
materials to embrace the challenges and implications of material on a form or
paradoxically state if the form does give rise to the deployment of material for
sculpture or vice visa. Artists, especially Sculptors are often expected to
foreshadow an understanding of the product of their experiences,
experimentations, exploitations and resources through the mediation of
materials in the realization of form. However, this seamlessly presents the
relationship between material, form and its realization through the deployment
of various types of materials. It establishes the connections between skills and
media (material); on one hand, and environment and the artist on the other.
Then create a nexus between techniques, materials and the artist.
