Louise Bourgeois 
Louise was a French-American artist. She made large scale sculptures and was a painter and print maker. She died at the age of 98 from a heart attack.

 This is called 'Suspension'


 This is 'Maman' (Spider)

 This is 'Arch of Hysteria'

Out of these 3, my person favorite is Maman. It is 30 feet tall, thats massive and also made of bronze, marble and stainless steel. Maman is also known as 'Spider' and holds a lot of value to her. After the death of her mother,
The Spider is an ode to my mother. She was my best friend. Like a spider, my mother was a weaver. My family was in the business of tapestry restoration, and my mother was in charge of the workshop. Like spiders, my mother was very clever. Spiders are friendly presences that eat mosquitoes. We know that mosquitoes spread diseases and are therefore unwanted. So, spiders are helpful and protective, just like my mother.
— Louise Bourgeois[4]



Another, but not as famous work is this:
 The Welcoming Hands, 1996

Animal Difference

The two animals I think are visually different are wolves and sharks. In a 3D way, wolves and sharks are different. Some ways that wolves are visually interesting are because compared to sharks, they're a land animal and an aquatic animal. The tail of a shark and the ears of a wolf both are completely different and yet they both have the same appeal to me. Sculpturally wolf ears, shark tails and dorsal fins.
