TO CREATE A PIECE THAT UNIFIES BOTH FORM AND FUNCTION, THE RIGIDITY OF STEEL IS MANIPULATED TO PRODUCE A DELICATE, ALMOST FLEXIBLE SEATING CONDITION.
FIVE STEEL RODS BENT INTO DIAMOND SHAPES ARE WELDED TOGETHER AND CAREFULLY WRAPPED WITH TWINE.
ON THE REVERSE; A PLASMA-CUT, PERFORATED STEEL SHEET DETERMINES THE TEMPLATE FOR FIVE INTERCONNECTED DIAMOND PLANES. THESE ARE THEN FOLDED INWARD TO ALLOW FOR THE BLOSSOMING SHAPE SEEN BELOW.
A STUDY OF THE PROPERTIES OF NON-FERROUS METALS THROUGH THE FABRICATION OF TRADITIONAL JEWELRY PIECES.
CHARACTERISTICS SUCH AS HIGH HEAT RESISTANCE, LOWER DENSITY, AND MALLEABILITY WERE EXPLORED BY USING MATERIALS SUCH AS COPPER, BRASS, AND NICKEL-SILVER; THESE TRAITS WERE LATER TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT WHEN IMPLEMENTING A MARRIAGE OF METALS, AS WELL AS EXPERIMENTING WITH THE IMPRINTING OF FIBROUS TEXTURES.
