Jennifer Maestre’s Pencil Sculptures



These are some seriously cool sculptures by Jennifer Maestre, with a simple enough concept – to use pencils. I like the fact that pencils are traditionally used for art, but just not in this way!

From something so humble, Jennifer creates almost illusionary, beautiful sculptures which sometimes look familiar but other times become unusual abstract structures.

In particular are the techniques she displays where the sharp ends create the spiny surface of sea urchin like beings, or are composed with the round cross sections of the pencils to form mammals with a protective outer fur and a softer inner belly.
