Failed Sketches

I sketched these on the plane today, exploring an idea that i had jotted down a while ago. The idea was that i would take two individual gestures and graphically "loft" them to make an image a sort-of swirling knot. The idea was to take the gesture to the next level... the next dimension. Unfortunately, trying to render a knotted ribbon out of two haphazard lines doesn't quite work so well on paper. In fact, they are downright awful. In the shapes' two-dimensionality, the intended knot was not the actual result, but a muddled mash that merely suggests knottiness emerged! I determined that this is definitely something that can only be explored three dimensionally, at least for now.

They aren't particularly worthy, but sometimes even failures are worth noting.
