About The ArtistChris Soal from South Africa makes toothpick sculptures out of toothpicks and random objects to create Amorphous sculpture. These pieces are created to show the relationship between destruction of nature and humans. Soal also uses these toothpicks to show how a hard toothpick can make a hard looking, random objects look soft. Soal makes the shaping of the piece related to touch so that it all appears soft. Chris Soal's websiteWhat I like about this workThis work inspires me because I think it is very cool how Soal makes the hard toothpicks and random objects look very soft and touchable. The way that the toothpicks sit together makes them look flowy and soft. I am also very intrigued by this artwork because it really has a heavy message behind it. These pieces show how much trash there is everywhere and using it to create and piece that looks like a growing piece of the "trashed" earth. We can see that making art out of trash is a beautiful thing but the trash can be destructive.
