FINAL <4> SPIRALING

this brings a few of the concepts together, context, shadow, light, materiality and movement in a 2D form, the mobius strip is morphed and spiraled through each other to create a virtual world each to interpret in their own individual way.

FINAL <3> BLENDING

By blending the context in which the mobius strip sits and getting inside it you gain a perception of what it would operate like as glazing wall system, light centers/diffuses the opening much like an entrance and bouncing shadows relay a small sense of space and enclosure.

FINAL <2> TILING

Context plays with the shadows of something that is there but not really visible, by tiling the outer edge and looking at the effects light play on its inhabitence you are engaged in what and where they come from.

FINAL <1> WEAVING

this is an experiment with weaving, by layering the mobius strip and changing the scale while twisting the elements creates an unusual elevated experience one might associate with a flight of stairs, while quietly in the background the strips act as a form of structure or opening into what is unknown.

CASTING SHADOWS

this is an attempt at introducing lighting and flocking or blending the shapes shadows off another object.

FLOATING

My next attempt at putting context in with Tiling & Packing

LINKING MESS

My next attempt at perspective and array functions playing with scale for weaving

MOBIUS TRAIN

Here i have arrayed the strips and used the other forms to work in with the train behind. They have all been linked and twisted in different directions. Im still unsure where im going with this and struggling to get away from my initial concept. Back to the drawing board.

MORPHED MOBIUS

I took the strip one step further and manipulated it into new forms. Not sure where im going with this but these 3 were my favorite ones.

SHAPES ARE STILL JUST SHAPES

this is an unsuccessful attempt at using the old book from second year to define a new direction, it hasnt really worked but i worked out some cool effects like lofting and using it to create new shapes and patterns.

FLOWER MOBIUS

My attempt at layering and morphing the mobius strip into new and interesting shapes. it ended up looking like a flower kind of and works well as a pretty shape but think it still has some way to go.

LINKING

This is my first attempt at linking and arraying the mobius strip while also trying out some materiality on the 2 objects. In the literal sense i was trying to replicate the wood being his aboriginal heritage and the aluminum being his white upbringing and the 2 linking or overlapping. Not sure how successful this is. Chris showed me a cool morphing camera angle to achieve this shot.

MOBIUS STRIP

this is my final idea and basis for my initial exploration - The mobius strip, it is a surface or object which has one continuous side which relates back to my chosen Australian figure Stephen page. He is a dancer who is part of the stolen generation and was brought up in a white home only to find his heritage in his teens and brought his love of dance his white upbringing and his aboriginal history together. Dance bright them all together and i want to explore this coming back on itself and integrating ideas into the house and module.

MOISTSCAPE INSTALLATION

this is a crazy 3D install of garden meets art, moss is placed in carefully formed truss that suspends over gravel.
