Assembly

DEFINITION

One of the 4 main methods a sculptor may use to achieve a desired overall form. Basically constructing or adding existing shapes, objects or materials to one another in a method other than welding to create a whole sculpture. See the other 3 main ones:carving, modelling and welding. Note: say "main" with a sculptural tongue in your cheek as artists are by definition always creating - not least the methods by which to create with!!!
