Another project done at my university's first level drawing class. The instructions were to create a model and draw it with charcoal. The model, made from branches, cardboard, and paper, looks like a tree, with the paper strips that resemble willow branches, yet it is made from everything processed from wood. It visualizes a transfiguration of the very primary material the sculpture's mediums are made from: wood. The branch is wood in its natural form, while the paper and cardboard are materials made from processed wood. A fourth transfiguration is added when I draw the model with charcoal, another form of processed wood, into a paper. The transfiguration of wood from a three dimensional material to a two dimensional image looks into questions of reality and truth. The drawing emphasizes the movement both in the cyclical nature of the cut paper sculpture and in the shadows that it created. The cyclical, wind-like movement, contrasted with the vertical, monolithic branch in the center, explores the relationship between what changes and what does not. The answer is perhaps within the balance of the juxtaposition between light and dark.
