monumentalmovement

Trying to think about how to explain the movement in the 'plane' pieces - see sequence. Managed to get to 4D model shop in Aldgate to buy more aluminium tube to create ‘line’ pieces - working with the multi-faceted, multi-format structure is challenging – it is very flexible – possibly this work made of lines is too flexible, lacking a recognisable form at any point in its flow of movements, although they are intriguing pieces.

I also like the idea of thinking about these pieces as monumental.....no reason....hence the ‘miniature’ people.

squeeze fold bend and expand

squeeze fold bend and expand - Structural Memory in Deformable Objects is a Project organised in collaboration with the Crafts Council and Kings College London.

The project examines soft robotics using visual thinking to problem solve. We are specifically developing the idea of change and adaption without compromising functionality, exploring the idea that a form takes the shape A; it becomes B and has the ability to return to A.

Through lateral thinking we are developing a unique way of exploration, extending knowledge around current soft robotics through model making. Setting out to challenge and expand our practices by exploring ways of controlling movement and articulation of objects in order to build new structures whose functionality and manipulation will be framed and enriched by knowledge of soft robotics.
