Growth

These last two weeks in class we've been working on a project titled "Growth". We had a homework assignment to collect photos of natural-occurring patterns that resemble the idea of growth, and then using the provided material of various rolls of wallpaper, we were asked to create our own growth structure.


A fan of natural grooves in shorelines and the wavy horizon line of mountain/hillsides, I tried channeling my inner fantasy land dweller and created "Dream Peak", a structure that makes me think of sun salutations in yoga. I would like to create more of these, and use them as an environment for a possible stop-motion piece idea I've been tossing around in my head.


A quick scribble I made when creating a loose plan for my growth structure.


The finished piece.



Using thread and a sewing needle, I attached wallpaper stars to parts of the structure, furthering the magical mystical feel of the piece.


Overall, I'm quite happy with my results. It was a lot of fun to make, and I've like to go further with it.
