fluid form




these images were from my project based on the investigation of fluid form. i used the precedents office da and zackary kinnaird who both include fluid form in their design, and used these designs to influence my own ideas of fluid form. the work that influenced my project the most was an instillation by office da. they connected lots of singular, cylinder-like tubes to create a whole curve, almost in the shape a rolling wave.
i used this idea of layering by office da and also the overall shape of some of zackary kinnaird's projects to produce my design. my project is made out of layers of paper which were cut into strips and then folded a few times down the width of each strip to create a curve. the singular strips of folded paper were then joined, similar to the join or base of a fan, and held together by sewing pins. these flat layers of built up folded paper successfully created a fluid form or curve.

The second photo (with the visible pins) is amazing, the area of focus in the foreground really stands out, and i think its sharpness is enhanced by the lustre of the pearl pins. :)

I love the second image. I wouldn't have thought to focus on the objects holding the piece together.

This looks amazing with the pins showing. They give it a very feminine look.
