Sketch of wall sculpture

I am planning on creating a metallic wall sculpture using aluminum cans as my primary source of material. I plan to build something similar to the sketch shown above. The simple material and lack of ornate details gives the artifact a barebones minimalist aesthetic. The opposite aesthetic to my minimalist artifact is maximalism.

Maximalist Interior Design

Opposed to minimalist’s less is more, maximalism follows the idea that more is more. In maximalist interior design your eyes are overstimulated with the amount of “stuff”. They include bright colors and intricate details. Instead of sparse wall art the maximalist wall is filled to the brim with wall art.

I’ve included a few examples of maximalist wall art and sculptures. They all have ornate details and flashy designs. The sculpture shown above is a hodgepodge of different materials and geometries and its utility is not obvious.
