Colourful Translated Cube

5 way perception cube completed

 

 

Finally finnished the 5 way perceptio. Twas a long journey.



These sloted in to the swastica shaped components of the cube. The tops of them are cut at angel to make sure that it fit through easier.

Each piece had to be made with careful consideration of the colours along side them and on the other side.

The backs of the pieces that sloted in were bent and taped down.

 

Makets for the 5 way perception cube



Too unstable.

Redisigned it proved to be sturdy



 

 

 

 

 

 

Colouring with paint didnt really produce a good consistant strong colour. So i moved on to coloured paper at the suggestion of Maria.

 

 

 

 

Working with colour paper and cardboard produced a strong effect however the cardboard was tedious to cut and hard to wedge together without visually damaging the piece. It was in this process of making this maket that it came to me to cut incisions into the body of the cube to act as a holder for the grid to be added later.

A timelapse of me attempting to make a metatrons cube with tape.

 

The audio is just some random conversation we where having while i was making the piece.

 

 

 

 

Spiral stopmotion and timelapse

spiral stopmotion i decided to make with my sculpture. Interestingly enough i can see similarities between the rhythem in the sculpture and music. Its displays wave lengths.

 

                                 

This then was a timelapse of me making some of it.

 

Definetly have to make more sotpmotion patterns based off of this.

plaiting experiments

The prime number thing turned out not to be true if there is some truth to it that is still yet to be revealed.

Veiw the cube from diffrent angles and diffrent things can be seen.

 

3D workshop folding plaiting and cuting

The 3D workshop was great. I learned various techniques such as how to plait, cutting paper technique and a folding technique.

examples of my experimentation with plaiting. The plaits at the bottom being my first attempts and the plait at the top being my last attempt so far.

These were my attempts at figuring out the plaiting system. I have come to the conclusion that the best amount of straws to plait with is a prime number as it allows you to alternate between "skipping 2 straws"  and skipping any other amount of straws as long as it doesn't pass the halfway point of the number of straws.

Why Prime numbers? Its simple when using a prime number for the plating system of "for example" whether it be (Skip 2 straws go to the straw one back and repeat.) or (Skip 3 straws go to the straw one back and repeat.) or (Skip 4....)  you will never end up with not using all the straws. However if you have 9 straw. 9 not being a prime number we open the risk of not being able to use all the straws depending on the folding pattern. "For example" (9 straws skip 3 and go one straw back) If one where to try this pattern one would end up only using 3 straws in the pattern. As the number is a multiple of 9 because of this it is only numbers that are not multiple should be used to make plaiting patterns.

 

This is a strip of paper folded together i really like the effect. There was a noteable process of the folding process that involved scraping the back of the paper with the dull end of a scalpel to make the paper easier to fold.

Something also to note the making of the paper strips seems to be preety tedious.

So make a gride of all the strips you want to have before cutting and strengthen the folds. Then cut them all. If they are all side by side it would be faster then messurig them all individually.

This was an interesting cut in the paper made by a 4 headed scissors

The folding techniques inspired me to experiment around witht the process and changing the different shapes used up in it. \This pieces was made up of individualy folded strips. To me looks like a king

My next aim was to try to replicate what i did with the king pieces without having to resort to segments stuck together.

This was the template. While examing the various different way to fold the paper numerous shapes reveiled themselves such as that as a fish.

When folding together. I forced one of the dimond shapes inward and it tore. It was no problem as i was able to fold it inwards and glue the sides together.

End result.

Very interesting was the inside of the pieces
