UNIT X - 9/5/14

As a result of my proposal for the Vertical Gallery being successful, I have been altering my design as the work now needs to be double sided as it will hang on the second floor outside of the lifts, so will be visible from all angles. This has been challenging but interesting as it has made me realise how important scale is and how a consideration to the space and architectural elements is vital. The process is proving to be very exciting (and slightly scary!) but I am looking forward to completing the work and translating a small sample into a full scale interior hanging piece for the show.


Three panels with smaller components on the middle section, as see from the lifts.

Three panels with bigger components on the middle section, seen from a distance. 


I have been exploring how to take the components off the surface, the most successful option was to use metal links to join each piece to allow the wood to be seen from both sides. I like how this has turned out as it creates a negative space in the shape of the triangles as well as the possibility to create two different designs, one on each side.  I have also increased the size of the components to 10 cm squared, as if they were smaller I think that they would have got lost in the space. 



Deciding on the design of the piece has proved a challenge to visualise as there are so many possible options, such as the component size, placement of colour and hanging arrangements . Whilst also having not yet created the piece I have found it hard to fully envisage how the final piece will look. I have begun to create some visualisations of how the placement of the tiles could create a larger pattern from a distance. I have referred back to my original drawings on the Airport runway markings and trying to achieve the lines and curves that were visible.
