111 Fluid Form Model Images

For my form, I tried to incorporate both the vertical features of Mena's work and the horizontal features in Crovello's work. The form had to include both fluid curves as well as a linear aspect. Using rhino plastic and thread i created plastic strips of varying sizes and used thread the sew them in curving layers on top of one-another. This was difficult given the thin nature of the thread and the sturdiness of the plastic. I used white thread to connect the two halves i had created and to make the stitches more subtle. After the basic form was created I went in, using white thread again, and sewed curving lines in between the plastic layer. I did this as a way of incorporating the curves as well as lots of thin delicate lines (like the ones in Mena's photo.) I like the effect it creates, with having just a single delicate line in the negative space in the form. Next I used black thread to create a single vertical line down the center of the form. I wanted a contrast again the white colours in the rest of the model. I think this black thread also balances the other threaded lines and creates more of an unusual feature, whilst creating the linear aspect of my model.
