Quick sketches of forming the orange box

These are quick design maps of what I can see with the materials used, the wood is thin and can twist in all angles so I was testing out making a sculptural piece showing form and function.

Air and Angels

Twice or thrice had I loved thee,
Before I knew thy face or name;
So in a voice, so in a shapeless flame,
Angels affect us oft, and worshipped be;
Still when, to where thou wert, I came,
Some lovely glorious nothing I did see.
But since my soul, whose child love is,
Takes limbs of flesh, and else could nothing do,
More subtle than the parent is,
Love must not be, but take a body too;
And therefore what thou wert, and who,
I bid love ask, and now
That it assume thy body I allow,
And fix itself to thy lip, eye, and brow.

Whilst thus to ballast love I thought,
And so more steadily to have gone,
With wares which would sink admiration,
I saw I had love's pinnace overfraught
Every thy hair for love to work upon
Is much too much, some fitter must be sought;
For, nor in nothing, nor in things
Extreme and scatt'ring bright, can love inhere.
Then as an angel, face and wings
Of air, not pure as it, yet pure doth wear,
So thy love may be my love's sphere.
Just such disparity
As is 'twixt air and angel's purity,
'Twixt women's love and men's will ever be. 

John Donne

Out of all his poems that I have recently read, this one seemingly strikes me the most. The words which John has used within this beautiful poem clearly illustrates about angels, this is something that has always fascinated me and the whole reason why I've started to look into Spiritualism within art. Especially those who have studied into Abstract Expressionism, the poem itself is so touching to me that I have shed a few tears. I recommended that others should definitely consider reading his poetry.

Inspirational technique of drawing

I used a primary image showing all the materials of the orange box as a guideline to recreating this inventory showing the exact items which have been received from dismantling the box. 

Deconstructing the orange box

These primary images which were taken on my digital Sony camera show a clear process of dismantling the orange box, showing the tools that I have used which were flat ended pliers and a flat ended screwdriver. I've also shown the literal shape of the box itself arranged in an organized manner and I then started to experiment trying to recreate space through a form of an object.

Large scale observation drawing using shades

This experimental A1 piece, which illustrates the basic format of the orange box using arrange of medium starting off by doing continuous lines using a 4B graded pencil then started to add depth with a marker and some mark making and eventually I added varies shades of soft monochrome pastel which created the perfect hues and shadows needed for the illustration. 

Experimental drawings showing varies angles of the box

These are mixed media illustrations of different angles of my orange box using a pen, pencil, colouring pencil, watercolours and a thin black marker. These are basically perspective drawings with techniques which I have learned and developed throughout my own practice within the artistic field.

Images showing the orange crate in different angles

 These are primary photos, showing the original state of the orange crate. I was focusing on getting different perspectives and positions to show how the book would adapt to being shaped.
