Form and Experience 

Given paragraph is a part of one of the short stories of J.G Ballard 

What we saw after Raymond Mayo pulled the tape I tried not to think about. With its pedestal the statue was twelve feet high. Three spindly metal legs, ornamented with spikes and crosspieces, reached up from the plinth to a triangular apex. Clamped on to this was a jagged structure that at first sight seemed to be an old Buick radiator grille. It had been bent into a rough U five feet across, and the two arms jutted out horizontally, a single row of sonic cores, each about a foot long, poking up like the teeth of an enormous comb. Welded on apparently at random all over the statue were twenty or thirty filigree vanes.

Ballard, J. G.. The Complete Short Stories: Volume 1

 Here are few attempts to capture the spikey texture and sonic cores...and to get a sense of depth in the Sculpture 

This are the final drawings , i was inspired by porcupines spikes ,and few animated scenes ,attempt was to make the viewer feel the spikes falling and moving at a high speed in a undefined landscape 

Wrote a few texts based up  on my final drawings

Inhabiting a space full of spikes, can be an intriguing and visually captivating experience. 

Where metal spikes are similar to porcupine's quills, each one is sharp and shining  with metal properties . As u navigate through this unique environment , the clash of this spikes create a symphony of sonic cores, the sheer sharpness of the spikes evokes a sense of danger and excitement .As you interact with this drawing, you can almost feel the prickling sensation against your skin, as if the metal spikes are reaching out to touch you.

In this space full of spikes with properties akin to metal but inspired by nature's design in porcupine's quilts, every glance offers a new perspective and every step uncovers hidden depths

As I was walking in the space

Each spike was dauntingly sharp, I felt the pointy objects poke and scratch me like a hyper Bob cat. Walking forward as the spikes clawed at my body , I lost sensation in my right hand to my discovery i found my right hand detached from my body and hanging on the spike, as I was moving i was continuing to collect and accumulate spikes on my body, gradually making me look like a human-porcupine. Looking around I only saw razor sharp nubs and red streaks being left behind, with parts of my body getting detached and dismembered, with some of them ending up on the pointy weapons like barbeque on a skewer stick.

As I was walking in the  space, I saw spikes falling and moving at high speed. Each spike was dauntingly sharp, moving forward spikes clawed at my body, I lost sensation in my right hand and to my discovery I found my hand detached from my body and hanging on the spikes, I felt numbness in my body, my right side was full of blood, I tried to grab my right hand but as I went closer another spike came and pierced through my right hand, and it went like WUUUSHHHHHHHH, I was walking I didn't know that jn which direction I was walking cause spikes were  moving at very high speed, so I was assuming that I am moving forward, within a second another spike came and pierced through my left leg, spike got stuck it was struggling to pass through it, spike started rotating, and I felt that muscles in my left leg were twisting bones were getting crushed, blood was squeezing out, bones and muscles were bursting out and it tored apart the leg from my body, I started hoping on one leg and I looked in my left and a spike pierced through my left eye, and it went straight up in the sky, with my right eye I followed my left eye, I continued to Hopp suddenly I felt a jerk on my left arm, then I saw a spike flying with my left arm, spikes were piercing through my arm from every direction, as if the spikes were craving my flesh, I felt something was coming up from the ground and suddenly spikes chopped my foot, I started hopping on my ankle, I hopped forward, and a spike came and pierced through my throat, took my tongue with him my mouth was bleeding, and I felt warm blood all over my body, I was in pain but also felt numb, but it also made me feel light and then 4–5 spikes started piercing my chest again and again felt lighter after every time, it reduced my chest to atoms, my head fell on the ground, I could hear the movement of spikes...suddenly I felt like my head is getting chopped, and my brain splashed on ground, I was only left with my righte--WUSSHHHHHHHH
