Constantin Brancusi and Bases

As Mrs. Jones suggested, I'm looking at Brancusi's bases to get some ideas. It's also nice to look at the sculptures themselves, of course.

All of his bases are geometric shapes that contrast with the more organic curves of the sculptures but complimenting the abstract aspect of the works simultaneously.
I will have to think about what shapes can bring out the undulating lines of my own sculpture.

Often Brancusi's bases are composed of different materials, giving them varying colors and textures. They are really incorporated into the structure, and they find a balance between being fairly interesting themselves and not too distracting as to steal attention away from the subject.

Things to think about:
- simple, complimenting shapes
- materials (preferably recycled)
- palette (if going to paint)
- height (how many layers maybe?)
