FERAL FIGURE TRANSFORMATION

This project analyzes the transfiguration of a found object by reinventing the form.

​

While assigned to explore Los Angeles in search of unique forms, I looked for objects that make both a practical and elegant use of primitive geometric forms. The industrial object I focused on is made up of an accumulation of geometric parts that serve a functional and structural purpose. The object stands tall and long in a field of wide and short rectangular warehouses and boxes. 

​

Initially I analyzed the interstitial spaces of the form. Choosing one space, I created molds and casts that further transformed through their various part to whole relationships and new points of connection. Drawing techniques revealed a new way of looking at the object by presenting the interior, the continuous space, and the transitional planes.
