This process was very similar to doodling- except instead of using a pen or a pencil on paper, we used physical 3D materials to mould and transform into sculptural pieces. I started on a path of creating small creatures- butterflies, caterpillars, trees- beginning a new theme ofContinue reading “3D Drawing”

Sketchbook work: working within the boundaries and restrictions of shapes- more specifically: circles, squares and triangles. Experimenting with the variety of ways you can play with these shapes: overlapping, cutting out, drawing, collating, forming other shapes and letters… the possibilities are endless once you start experimenting. Eventually you find that the once specific shapes becomeContinue reading “Circles, Squares and Triangles”

Inspired by the Japanese philosophy “Ensō”- a circle that is hand-drawn in one or two uninhibited brushstrokes, expressing a moment when the mind is free to let the body create. During this project, we experimented with “restrictive movement drawing”, which meant we had to constantly adapt andContinue reading “Collaborative Painting with Homemade Apparatus”

After each completed drawing- we rubbed away theContinue reading “Restrictive Drawing”

For this, I designed and created a drawing tool reminiscent of a chickens foot- a three pronged attachment to my shoe that could be flicked, dragged or kicked against a piece of paper. I made this out of strips of cardboard stuck together withContinue reading “Experimental drawing with Body Extensions”
