Drawings for Sculptures

Preparatory drawings for sculptures layering up in the studio as revisions are made and adjustments to allow for technology and art to come together.

Grafting has a history within architecture, design and art. Artists and designers have explored grafting strategies to create living furniture, buildings and visual art as well. Grafting is depicted in Greek mythology in the stories of Philemon and Baucis. Joined together in eternity by the gods Jupiter and Saturn as a single standing tree. Their story depicted numerous times throughout art history including in the paintings of Rembrandt.

As a horticultural practice grafting has often been employed when seeking solutions for disease, hardiness and the lifespan of trees.
