Nailed it Series No. 56 (2021) Mixed-media sculpture by Sumit Mehndiratta

This piece comes box framed with acrylic glass, framed in a white wooden frame.
I like creating geometrical patterns through various mediums. I like them to be precise in terms of their shape and construction. Using threads and nails has been one of the many creative ways I could use to make geometrical shapes and have fun with them. Each nail is hammered individually and then I weave the threads through the nails one by one by hand until I get the desired shape and its placement onto the sculpture. Together these shapes create a beautiful complexity and the fine lines of threads mixing with each other create a beautiful, intricate pattern. Around 350 meters of thread is used to make this art piece. The plywood in the background is painted with acrylic paint.

Materials used:

Acrylic paint, nails and thread
