Over the period of 3 days we were given the task of creating a drawing at a scale of at least 1mx1m, using only black and white media that related to our Sleuths, Spies and Lies project. A week later in a drawing workshop in the studio we had to deconstruct and then reconstruct our drawings in whatever way we wanted. At first the thought of destroying my work was worrying, but we were shown how this reconstruction task can progress our drawings as they become more than just a static 2D piece. I set about shredding my work, and curling the ends to create a trail of fringing that was connected diagonally across the middle of the 1m square. This reminded me of how the tendrils and fronds of plants curl and twist and move. I have also photographed the process, and my experimentation with how the shredded ends could be worked with. When hung, the fringing trailed down like vines, and when laid across the shoulders it reminded me of a scarf. I’ve seen the possibilities of what I can create from just a 2D piece and how I can apply this to other areas of my work.
