Ideas after critique 9/18/13

Okay, so one thing Cathrine said really echoed in my mind.  WINGS!!  I like it, I'm not sure which direction I'm going but I will get back to everyone on that.  Afterwords, I took some pictures a leaf.  I really like the curve it has and I like the veins.  I am thinking more about deconstruction, or just getting back to the 'bones' of an object.  AMBIGUITY that is the word of the semester.  (I am a little disappointed in myself for taking a step or two back in progress.  I was at bones why did I suddenly change?)  Anyway, did a little quick sketches while finishing critique as well and I liked what I saw.  Wings, bones and ambiguity.  

 Here I tried to simplify the bug body more, having the hard exoskeleton and possibly some connecting vertebrae down the middle.  I was thinking about carving. (But I might keep this for a welding idea because the metal might make it really cool. Memo to self, NOT the bulky metal try the thinner stuff so I can pound it easier.)





This was another sketch I did while at critique, it reminded me of a leaf as well as having it curve.  While I was sketching I began to separate the curve and make it into smaller areas that curved.  (I think this one would be a great carving!)

Finally, I found this picture in a National Geographic magazine.  I believe the small article was about shark skin, anyway I LOVE IT! I really enjoy the visuals from this.  I reminds me of chain mail.  I find the movement really interesting as well.
