Culture meets Nature: Drawing

To continue on our theme of 'when culture meets nature' we each chose two words out of a hat, one was a natural thing, and one cultural. My two words were 'mountain' and 'shoes'. I started off by doing some observational sketches of shoes, both mine and other peoples.
I then sketched a mountain the best I could from memory (unfortunately I couldn't find a mountain in Wolverhampton) 
I then tried to combine the two, by making a 'mountain of shoes' starting with a pile of shoes, turning into a mountain further up
 Some close-ups of the drawing:



I then tried to combine them in a different way, by making the mountain into a shoe. I did this by putting laces up the side of the mountain, and trying to make it shoe shaped, while keeping the form of the mountain. I then cut away the excess paper to better show the shape.
