Fantastic pencil sculpture

Here are some sculpture made by Jennifer Maestre.Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, artist Jennifer Maestre shows off the depths of her fascination with the sea urchin and its undeniable texture.

She madde it by combining pencils, nails, and elaborate stitching, she creates a broad array of inspired yet prickly sculptures.

To make the pencil sculptures, she takes hundreds of pencils, cut them into 1-inch sections, drill a hole in each section, sharpen them all and sew them together.

Quantities of industrially manufactured objects are used to create flexible forms reminiscent of the organic shapes of animals and nature. Pencils are common objects, here, these anonymous objects become the structure.
