HI PIERPAOLO!

Here's a quick explanation of what I've been doing...


I really enjoyed the cube project and throughout the week I constructed wire 'incomplete cubes'.  I continued with this idea during 'ROOM' where I attempted to create an incomplete cube structure directly beneath the exposed pipes in the studio from resin casts of a pipe I'd had found.  I say attempted as creating a mould and casting a long thin structure didn't prove as easy as I'd imagined. As a result i have various sections of a pipe, but definitely not the 4 complete sections i had intended! But i learnt a lot during the process.


Whilst i was battling with a leaky mould in the workshop i began to explore casting using latex and creating patterns from the scale map of my site in my sketchbook and reflective journal. 


I've became fascinated by all the possible options of drawing incomplete cubes.  I'm determined to find every pattern and combination.  It shall be an interesting Christmas!


Here are some images of my work.
