. I started to think about the similarites between twigs and branches and bones, I wanted to begin to use them as a media. Both twigs and bones are natural substances, something which I have been kee to explore through out my project. both of these object provide structure to other things also, ie. the bones give structure to the body and the twigs give structure to the tree. So.... I dragged my sister outside to help me to collect some twigs around our local countryside. The twigs that I got were ash wood, which is very flexible.
I then tied the twigs in a "V" shape, trying to tie two twigs of similar size together. I seccured them with thread, cream in colour. I really like the effect of the cream on the brown wood.
I wanted the piece that I would make to to take inspiration from the spine. I looked at how the vertabrae locked into one another in a "V" shape and decided to slot the ash "V"s that I had made into one another. This created, in my opinion, a very interesting pattern and shape. I really like how the ends of the branches naturally stick out, recreating that pointed element of the spine also.
