desn101: project 4
The requirement of the project was to create a model that has the element of fluidity about it. I believe the model I created effectively conveys the desired result of a model that is fluid in form. To me, the definition of fluid is having no corners or sharp edges, smooth to the senses and beginning to be continuous. My idea of fluid is like a liquid having fewer particles than a solid and so the model would need to look like it has fewer particles than the solid it is created from, and this is evident in the finished model. The finished model has a delicate look because of the symmetrical shape and the material it is made from. The delicate look adds to the overall flow of the model and the property of the thin continuous wire allows for a fluid form.I drew inspiration from the work of Zakary Kinnaird and Eric Shepherd, using their shape and materials to create an entirely different model that has fluid form.
