Hoop Skirt

Esther Hansen

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of an abstract three-dimensional wireframe structure with leather straps. The wireframe has an elliptical spiral design curving around an axis. The leather straps are detailed with stitching and adjustment holes. They are fastened around the wireframe, blending mechanical and biological elements. The color palette is simple, mainly soft browns and neutral tones. The drawing combines industrial design and organic architecture.
