(Re)presenting – Final Models

I am proud of my final model. The way the sticks make blurry shadows behind the trace paper. The way the cube cut-outs create tunnels which cause you to flip the model in your hands in order for you to peer down all possible roots. The way different size cubes stack up to equal each other. The way it explores ideas of both solid and outline. The way the change in the direction of the grain creates horizontal and vertical lines.

When we came together we were pleasantly surprised. They work so well together! There are many ways to stack them together – which loosely links with one of our early ideas: that the distinction between horizontal and vertical is ambiguous, they are interchangeable for each other.

Our final models explores horizontal and vertical lines in a three dimensional form. The way line is used to create shapes, define spaces (around and between) and create tunnels or ways to channel views. Lines become the essence of 3D form.

Our shadow drawings will be projections of the models. This will mean that the models are reduced back to 2D, that the 3D form will be lost and line is the outstanding feature.
