Drawings without paper - Sectional Study
The project currently underway is dealing with representation of drawing in an unconventional way. Almost as a type of "model" 2D drawings are expressed in a somewhat 3d way made out of a variety of materials from wire to plaster. The model below was an exploration of the section seen in the previous post of my library concept - which relates to a series of volumes that contain the public space within the "cube" of the library. I used inflated balloons and then wrapped them with yarn coated with a watered down glue mixture. After letting them set overnight, the balloons were then popped and removed - leaving the form expressed below. Wire was used to hold these objects in a plane and to simulate the floor plates within the volume of the library.

is there a way to use the same materials throughout? (ie. yarn or wire) [for consistency...?]
