It is taking a lot of time and effort as I need to look and consider it from different angles to make a balanced composition. 2: free-standing sculpture colouring and texturing stage  Painting stage of the sculpture is taking long, working on finding different entangled body forms. Adding materials to create different textures, developing into a complex structure that is difficult to read- I could improve on this by cutting more defined shapes and using more colour contrasts   3: Covering the free-standing collage with modrock and plaster, followed by colouring the surface with acrylic paints
