This first video shows the piece finally installed in the postgraduate studios in late September 2020. This is still a work in progress and the experimentation with pulling the shapes from the drawings is ongoing. I have started with making aluminium wire follow the lines and hanging these from fishing wire along the top of the installation. I intend to develop this piece using varying materials bringing the lines out of the drawing both as lines, and as planes contorting the surface.
Developing the Work
This installation is the first in a series of Installations I have made during Practice Two. This I have called Part 1, because I began it first. You can see in the photographs below, these are large drawings (2.18 metres high by 1.2metres wide) for sculpture developed from the A1 sized drawings using the same system. I used the 7 x 9 system to divide the paper up. I had proposed the series of installation to be in a corner, so I used the corner of the outside studio and attached two pieces this size into the corner.

11 Line and Cells grid lines 7 x 9 drawn 1.2m x 2.18m right hand drawing developing the drawing in installation 
I continued to draw and develop the lines into cells to create multiple forms from the system 7 x 9. This can be seen below. I see structures and sculptures I want to make out of various materials.
The film below shows the installation close up as if you are viewing it. I plan to film this again with better lighting as this was shot with only natural light. I have purchased some specialist outdoor lighting to be able to film over winter.
I am editing process videos showing me doing the installation drawing. To be published soon.
These are drawings from Practice Once which I were workings up of smaller sketchbook drawings.

I continued these drawings and they are ongoing, below are a few examples of more recent A1 drawings. You can also find more work supporting this piece in the sketchbook section of the website or by clicking here.
Next Steps for this work is to continue to develop the structures within the drawn elements and install a series of iterations including leant pieces, contorted surfaces and I plan to make some welded wire pieces that feel they are coming out of the walls.
