HAPPY HAMLIN | STUDIO 253 | WIRE PAW PROPS

Happy creates sculptures out of wire, masking tape, and found materials. Some portray eco futurist architecture, while others are botanical inspired sculptures illuminated from the inside to create a unique glowing effect.

To create these works, Happy suspends wire armatures as they shape the flexible wire to form interesting shapes. They then clad the pieces with different types of masking tape and mixed materials.

Some of these pieces are relatively small and can sit atop a small lamp. Others like, the head of their large puppet, can be the size of a large yoga ball! Happy wants to further explore even larger sculptures with enough room for viewers to interact with the piece and step inside of it.
