Before beginning a sculpture, you should always be considering the following 3 components, which will inform your process of construction. Sculptures are meant to be seen from multiple sides (if not ALL sides), so an artist needs to consider that fact.
Space: The
dimensions of height, width and depth, where all things exist.
Mass/Volume: The
amount of space an object takes up.
Form: The
visible space and arrangement of something.

Wire: Metal drawn out into the form of a thin flexible thread or rod - thickness varies, and is measured in gauges – the smaller the number, the thicker the wire.
Below are image examples of artworks created from wire, showing varying methods of developing forms.
