The second component of our reading (and remaking) of the Gorky painting was to make a plan and section of the paper model using only straight lines, in a way that both represents the model, but also expresses its underlying logic or generative process.
My drawings ended up comprising a fairly legible expression of the model, but came together as a result of quite the same process: by first inscribing a grid, establishing nodes, and literally pulling the lines together at those points, thus rendering the deformed surface. I've presented that distorted field over the original datum in both plan and section. I've also tried to document where the manipulated grid seems to disappear, as a secondary expression of that distortion
It was suggested to me at our review to take sections at every gridline (in a given direction) and overlay that information to better capture the surface distortion in section or elevation.
