Provenance

Description

This pencil sketch serves as an exploration of three-dimensional possibilities—a guitar deconstructed and reimagined as sculptural elements. The overlapping planes and intersecting lines map out potential volumes and negative spaces, testing how the familiar curves of the instrument might translate into solid form. Each mark investigates the relationship between the guitar's organic silhouette and geometric abstraction, considering how light might play across surfaces and how the viewer might move around the eventual sculpture. The floating circles and flowing lines suggest movement and rhythm that could be captured in bronze or stone. This drawing is a conversation between the two-dimensional and the three-dimensional, a blueprint for transforming musical inspiration into tangible, sculptural poetry.
