03 3D FRAMWORK. The study on aboriginal culture introduced me to the Indigenous Group of Seven and the dream catcher. Painter, Alex Javier is a member of Indigenous Group of Seven. His colorful artworks often portray the spread of abstract lines. Similar to the netting of a dream catcher, the interception of lines is a concept that resonates in both of the two indigenous pieces. Through the analysis on the cedar tree leaf, its shape led me to discover the intriguing possibility that can emerge through the connectivity between lines. The cedar leaf grows in layers, and are able to diverge off of each other without any branch. In parallel sense to the painting and the dreamcatcher, the dots were interconnected to form a structure complex in its shape and layers. + SKETCH.SOURCE OF INSPIRATION 3 x 3 in 9 x12 in
