She started to worry about inhaling all the toxic fumes, however, and began to experiment with different techniques until she settled on beading. Her method of choice? The peyote stitch.<br/>#3 In Watchtower, Maestre focuses on a more architectural form. Peer inside and you'll see a series of pencil struts spiraling up like a staircase in a tower.<br/>#4 Maestre was originally inspired by the push-pull reaction she had to sea urchins.<br/>#5 Hive is one of Mastre's unintentionally more suggestive sculptures. "Certain viewers find it a little obscene," she says. "Maybe because I used the pink eraser ends to outline the orifices." (OK?)<br/>#6 Some see a frog, others a gorilla, and some even an Egyptian mask. What does Threnody look like to you? Maestre may not know herself, but her primary goal was to convey the feeling of something howling. <br><div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"><div style="background-color:#e5e5e5"><div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;">Clip Source: <a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.wired.com/culture/art/multimedia/2008/04/pl_arts_pencils?slide=1&slideView=4" title="http://www.wired.com/culture/art/multimedia/2008/04/pl_arts_pencils?slide=1&slideView=4">www.wired.com</a></span></div><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;"><H2>Stitched-Together Pencils Evolve Into Beastly Sculptures</H2></div></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><img src="http://clipmarks.com/image_cache/merrie/512/4A8677BD-D4F6-4868-A18E-59909944EBC7.jpg" alt="" /><br /></div><div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;">Clip Source: <a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.wired.com/culture/art/multimedia/2008/04/pl_arts_pencils?slide=2&slideView=5" title="http://www.wired.com/culture/art/multimedia/2008/04/pl_arts_pencils?slide=2&slideView=5">www.wired.com</a></span></div><div style="padding: 10px;"><img src="http://clipmarks.com/image_cache/merrie/512/78AD510C-D73D-4A84-9460-7EE87FABF7A4.jpg" alt="" /><br /></div><div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;">Clip Source: <a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.wired.com/culture/art/multimedia/2008/04/pl_arts_pencils?slide=3&slideView=6" title="http://www.wired.com/culture/art/multimedia/2008/04/pl_arts_pencils?slide=3&slideView=6">www.wired.com</a></span></div><div style="padding: 10px;"><img src="http://clipmarks.com/image_cache/merrie/512/7FB5AF09-5C8B-4141-A5A5-AD8510EE4D67.jpg" alt="" /><br /></div><div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;">Clip Source: <a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.wired.com/culture/art/multimedia/2008/04/pl_arts_pencils?slide=4&slideView=7" title="http://www.wired.com/culture/art/multimedia/2008/04/pl_arts_pencils?slide=4&slideView=7">www.wired.com</a></span></div><div style="padding: 10px;"><img src="http://clipmarks.com/image_cache/merrie/512/F82A0E3B-6386-4F7F-ADE8-AEA5718ED7F9.jpg" alt="" /><br /></div><div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;">Clip Source: <a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.wired.com/culture/art/multimedia/2008/04/pl_arts_pencils?slide=5&slideView=8" title="http://www.wired.com/culture/art/multimedia/2008/04/pl_arts_pencils?slide=5&slideView=8">www.wired.com</a></span></div><div style="padding: 10px;"><img src="http://clipmarks.com/image_cache/merrie/512/C86971A5-6495-4C10-A8C3-D3C31D4E6791.jpg" alt="" /><br /></div><div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;">Clip Source: <a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.wired.com/culture/art/multimedia/2008/04/pl_arts_pencils?slide=6&slideView=9" title="http://www.wired.com/culture/art/multimedia/2008/04/pl_arts_pencils?slide=6&slideView=9">www.wired.com</a></span></div><div style="padding: 10px;"><img src="http://clipmarks.com/image_cache/merrie/512/75B00C3B-6B14-4325-9157-4C2F06A199C9.jpg" alt="" /><br /></div></div></div><br><div style="margin-bottom: 40px;">Tags: <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/art/" rel="tag">art</a>, <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/pencils/" rel="tag">pencils</a>, <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/sculpture/" rel="tag">sculpture</a>, <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/culture/" rel="tag">culture</a>, <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/nature/" rel="tag">nature</a>, <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/animals/" rel="tag">animals</a></div>http://www.wired.com/culture/art/multimedia/2008/04/pl_arts_pencils?slide=1&slideView=4Mon, 12 May 2008 01:39:40 GMT
