29. The Wrapped Object, February 2014

During the 'nonsense botany' project, the group looked at images of a Bernini sculpture in marble, that shows a woman turing into a tree. Connecting this to our nonsense plants, we had a life drawing session wherein we drew our model turning into a plant. 

This in turn developed into an interest in Bernini and the baroque. We drew a model covered in cloth and this in turn lead to our looking at the artist Christo and Jeanne Claude, and their famous 'wrapping' of objects and buildings.
