Now I wanted to try, feel the boundaries of the sculpture. I have experimented a lot with hot glue and working foam.
One of the mistakes gave me a new beginning of work. I forgot to put the cream on the balloon, so when the hot glue froze, I could not separate it. But the ball looked like the soft needles of a hedgehog, and they were organized. It stretched and changed its shape.
So, I tried to fix it on the metal mesh. And then I added construction foam. I tried to model it, compose it. Then I applied the colour.
I noticed that when I paint on canvas, I create something with colour, and when I use paint on a sculpture, it’s more like a painting. That is, the internal form already exists, and I can modify it but not change it radically.
While researching how other artists are discussing the boundaries of painting and sculpture, I found Richard Tuttle.

And again, someone has already done this before me.
In an article on The Art Markets, Tuttle states, “to make something which looks like itself is, therefore, the problem, the solution. To make something which is unravelling, its own justification is something like a dream. There is no paradox, for that is only a separation from reality. We have no mind, only its dream of being, a dream of substance when there is one.” (Online At: https://www.green-coursehub.com/research-blog/yuck-yuck-fun-richard-tuttle)
In the Staying Contemporary interview on Art21, he describes his experience as a student remembering the herding of artists to define their noticeable style. He felt as if that was training to find the end of something, when he was and remains interested in finding the beginnings.

Tuttle works between mediums as if allowing the material to live independently in space and be a new, organized, coloured object.
In my work, I felt the combination of materials, and the building foam became a colour. This blue filled the metal mesh, and one story emerged. The colour is presented not on canvas, but a three-dimensional grid. And here we would rather say that this is not a painting but a sculptor or art object.
So at what point did the object on the wall stop being a painting and became an art object?
The colour is in space, is not depicted on one side as it would be with the canvas. And what about glass then?
