DIALOG...

the project above was another involving the limited use of 12 bamboo skewers and 12 4x6 bristol board cards on a 12x12 base. This is not to say in any regards that the ideas that came from these restrictions were limited at all however, the class brought in a diverse assortment of distinctly different projects that went along with our assignment to create a dialog of two spaces. My ideas for the project shifted entirely when I began playing around with the materials, an above image shows the tower like form which was my first "go" at the idea, also some sketchbooks brain-wandering including a rough doodle of the design I based my final project on.

PROJECT REVIEW

The two projects that caught my attention this morning brought a bought a strong sense of unity in my eyes. Although at first glance, Jessica and Kara's projects are extremely dissimilar. Made up entirely of linear lines, Jessica fashioned her 12 bamboo skewers and bristol board cards atop a 12x12 plexi-glass square base. She explored the idea of opposites in collaboration with one another by creating a reflection of the half hexagonal form  adorned with a six skewer beam on the under side of the plexi-glass. Kara's project also explored opposites but in a totally different light...her project was composed of rounded forms opposed to the very linear look of Jessica's project. It consisted of a bristol board half-dome and 12 skewers that were curved opposite to the dome, creating a cage-like pattern atop her circular base made up of a thick foam core. While Jessica's project creates a direct refection through her plexi-glass base, Kara's project derived a sense of reflection as well through her opposing curves. Both projects create a distinct form using this idea resulting in very interesting compositions of negative space.
