This is the last installation for the "abstract expressionists" that we have been evaluating.

As some of you may know, i studied Jackson Pollock's piece "Untitled 13."



We were to choose a blobject from our houses and then diagram it in reference to the artist's work we were assigned.

I study iaido, which is what many samurai studied. It is literally the art of drawing the sword, cutting down an attacker and resheathing the sword. I realized that while it is not your typical blobject, the sword is ultimately one of the finest blobjects ever devised. Most people associate blobjects with something similar to an Xbox controller, or a steering wheel for a car, or perhaps a cellphone. Many of these objects have blobby, amorphous, yet anthropomorphic qualities to them. If a blobject is determined by its ergonomics, then a katana fits the definition. The whole drawing pattern of a katana is of both circular and angular motion in reference to the person drawing with ease and relaxation, similar to one holding a controller, or phone.

Below are a few FormZ diagrams that i did for this last installation:
