compulsive drawing


a few of these structures made their way into the sketchbook lately. i'm imagining that the hanging log is pierced by a copper rod. for what purpose, or for what potential meaning, i'm not sure yet. but i do like the idea of building a few of these in parks and just leaving them there.


with this one i'm thinking about the performance of pulling against trees. i can see it being just people, like some sort of tug-of-war. otherwise cars could be interesting too, with mud flicked up and smoke and a generally failed attempt at moving the tree.


just a random, proposition for a sculptural form. i think i was considering the idea of a circulated growth or cycle of movement.


so, this started off as an unplanned random pattern that turned into a kinda ugly web. i kept pushing it and it slowly evolved into a kinda ugly flower.
