Every project is a test, to solidify the conveying of ideas for future projects. This project was therefore started very simply, use something personal to me and design a functional art piece with it. The premise was to use a stripped branch and make a sculpture emphasizing its natural form. I was inspired to use a branch from a cottonwood tree that I had grown up with and it with me. It ended up being my most personal sculpture to date and the one that best shows my ability to make good design emotional.
