Lace and structure strength

When looking at lace I thought about the industry the strength the power the interlink of life's laced into each other unknowingly. I wanted to look at wire as metrial to work with creating human form bodies. Although I had never sculpted human form i choose to approach instinctively trusting my knowledge of the human form. Useing special pliers. 
This was my first one .I thought this was a good a attempt . I began to think that to
Continue I should maybe attend some life drawing classes or refer to previous work of the human form.
I continued to make these models and the more I did it I found my rhythm with the wire. Looking further I began to see the strength within Lace and community began to think about a within the overworked spaces of Lace Mills would of been a place where people found great friendships and more.
The more I made these wire sculpture the more I thought of abundance of life feeding lace industry the contrast of injustice and the beauty that is lace .Where could I take these sculpture?
