I was inspired by the motion and function of paintbrushes and how they interact with a given material. They are able to help make an artist\u2019s vision come to life, and add a sense of unpredictability along the way. A brush isn\u2019t a perfect tool and sometimes inadvertently adds imperfections to a work, but there is beauty in the spontaneity.<\/p>\n

I started by deconstructing paintbrushes, removing the bristols from the handles. The bristols from each brush were then separated in half and later wrapped in wire. I worked to make a strong encasing for the bristols and included loops on the sides in order to connect each component. After I connected each piece I designed a handle structure to add more rigidity, but also allow motion and flexibility. The handle was made by wrapping wire around a wire armature. It forms multiple arch that connect at their highest points.<\/p>\n

The final object is able to create expressive and dynamic lines and texture. It is meant to be bent and manipulated and its construction is strong enough to allow this.<\/p>\n
