Katie Hudnall | Madison, Wisconsin
Found wood, pencil, pencil sharpener, eraser 6 x 4 x 2 inches | 15.24 x 10.6 x 5 cm

This piece came from a very intuitive and loose process of daydreaming about the prompt, "Form and Content." I thought first about content, contents, objects contained. I wanted to make a pencil box to hold all the things you might need to make a drawing with a pencil - pencil, eraser, sharpener. How would a pencil box take its shape from its contents? Wait. Why do you even need a box? Why not just some weird rig to hold the three items together? Thus, the Pencil Plus.
