The DrawDel Strands experiment is an integration of 2D and 3D. A drawing turns into a 3D model interfering with the surrounding space. It’s a process of layering, shifting, splitting, merging and twisting. The description of the piece said that its idea is inspired from tree morphology. When seeing it, it personally reminded me of the human body veins that lie under the skin. The composition reminds me of our body’s complexity that rhymes!

The dynamic piece is exposed to a lot of transformation and surface wrapping. As described it turned “from thick and massive to thin and delicate”.

I see the process contradicting to sculpting technique. I found it interesting to observe the difference. In sculpting, you have the mass and you start playing with it, trying to form a certain shape with curving, cutting, hollowing. On the contrary, the process of the oscillation doesn’t start with 3D mass but with a 2D drawing that then rises to life; if you let me say.

Art was never achieved through one way only. You can do it one way or another. It’s all about inspiration, expression, process and materiality.
