Ideas

These are some of the projects I am working on and looking to develop further.  They are at an early stage so I try focus on the idea.  If you invest too much time in materials and making it becomes difficult to make changes – or simply reject it as an idea that isn’t going to work.

Shift

Cubes made up of 27 smaller cubes.  The smaller cubes can be removed but must be added back – shifted.  It is based on Lygia Pape’s wonderful Livro do tempo (Book of Time), 1961-63, where she takes 365 squares and cuts bits out and adds them back in.

I’m not sure where this is going to go and how to develop the materiality.  I like the scale – the cubes are 45 x 45 x 45mm – and feel that they are definitely things that need to be handled.

Slip

Stacks of cubes.  Each cube is cut at a different compound angle and slipped in two directions.  At the moment they are 350 x 70 x 70mm but could be much bigger – perhaps cast in concrete.
