temporal morphology


project 2 for perry kulper's drawing course was temporal morphology. the project took an event or competitive video and formed a spatialization through drawing movements and aspects of the video.


my video was the overtime sequence of a collegiate wrestling match between the university of michigan and the university of minnesota. the takedown was the motion and process in focus (seen here).


the drawing, which is still in progress, takes into account, time, score, relational thinking and spacing, foot and head movement, control of match, forces and pressures, and even secondary components or actors within the scene such as the referees or spectators in the stands. i have approached this drawing as a construction document for the spatialization of the overtime period of a wrestling match. it carries loads of information and it's safe to say that this is a drawing that could always be pushed further.

(approximately half done)

this is a new technique and way of drawing that i have never been exposed to but i have found a deep love for it already. it has a steep learning curve and you begin to sense that every component of the drawing is as important as the last. the drawing has already become completely relational in the sense that it is thought out from the grid, to the structure of the forms, to the mapping of poche and graphics. it really has become a construction document for the structure of the takedown.
