Layering.

An experimentation of layering the same tinted pattern vertically.

Fred Sandback

Form, material and space are placed in relation to one another to make the interdependent elements appear as a complex whole. The physical material of the sculptures, the acrylic yarn, is present, but it literally carries very little weight. The found architectural situation where the work is exhibited becomes part of the work and functions as its premise and prerequisite.

Human scale model.

Turning sketch models into live human scale objects. Installation had this very beautiful settlement to it, white string against the same colour background was almost invisible, only geometricly twisted parts would become visible.

String model

Here I was experimenting on the ways strings cross over, drops shadows and changes oppacity of the lines naturally. Below is the image of the physical model.

Images of string model. Mount board walls.

This is the series of experiments I've started taking. Aiming was to explore, experiment with materials, light, and with such excercise to link my agenda with practical work. How drawing in space could set a new boundaries and territories. Here I looked at what would happen if space were filled with lines. Practically it distrupts the flow, also line becomes a base point of dropping shadow.

Secondary research on making techniques: Gabriel Dawe

 

Gabriel Dawe was born in Mexico City where he grew up surrounded by the intensity and color of Mexican culture. After working as a graphic designer, he moved to Montreal, Canada in 2000 following a desire to explore foreign land. In search for creative freedom he started experimenting and creating artwork, which eventually led him to explore textiles and embroidery—activities traditionally associated with women and which were forbidden for a boy growing up in Mexico. Because of this, his work is subversive of notions of masculinity and machismo that are so ingrained in his culture. By working with thread and textiles, Dawe’s work has evolved into creating large-scale installations with thread, creating environments that deal with notions of social constructions and their relation to evolutionary theory and the self-organizing force of nature. After seven years of living in Canada and gaining dual citizenship as a Mexican-Canadian, Gabriel moved to Texas to pursue graduate school at the University of Texas at Dallas where he is presently a candidate for an MFA in Arts and Technology. His work has been exhibited in Dallas, Houston, Montreal, Toronto and Barcelona.
