White conte hidden (eyes) regular blinking. Red speck of pastel hidden inside (mouth). Fluid open/close movement of his mouth.
3D strong thick strokes of charcoal by artist who did the original charcoal drawings that the conductor emerged from.
Tri-tone charcoal figure (excluding rubber head). Note the charcoal he emerges from is artist’s charcoal used on paper.
The conductor finds a piece of conte when emerging form a mass of abstract charcoal on a drawing on the floor. This shard of conte inspires him to conduct a nearby paper plane to fly around. Eventually the plane flies into the charcoal and he is destroyed. He loves conducting and will re-emerge! This is the white conte baton he found at the scene.
Low knee joints here. These fold to an edge on a hinge in movement.
Splits in charcoal throughout his body.
Left foot is an edge, counter-posed by right, hooflike base for stability.
