My wire sculpture represents a penguin stuffed animal. To add more emphasis to certain areas of the body, I added more wire by interweaving and creating more density and I also limited the wire I used in specific areas to add focus. The belly of the penguin and around the face is white so I added little to no wire in those areas so that the eye focused on those surfaces. These areas highly constrasted with the black parts of the penguin - the head, body, eyes, and nose of the penguin, which also stands out and draws the eyes around the more dense "black" parts of the penguin. The eyes were the main focal point of the piece. The stuffed animal penguin had bright big eyes and the focus was mainly onto them so I incorporated large, dense eyes into my wire penguin sculpture to add the most emphasis to that area.
