Straw Art

Continuing to experiment with everyday materials, I played around with drinking straws. These are all entirely balanced, there was NO GLUE involved at all. This took a lot of patience as straws are quite light and are easy to blow over. the shapes they create are very geometric and natural. The curve from the straight lines of the straws took a while to get right but the effect is quite pleasing.

Rubber Band Art

While experimenting with everyday materials, I came across a bunch of rubber bands and pins. With geometry on my mind, these small experiments took form. The spiral was an adaptation on the original experiment but the shape reminded me of the Fibonacci spiral. This led me back to natural forms later on.

Spoon Experiments

My final major project involved a lot of experimentation with balance and materials. This ultimately led me to geometry and the concepts for my final piece. These experiments took me a very long time to make as there was ABSOLUTELY NO GLUE involved but a hell of a lot of patience. The spoons I used created natural geometric shapes, which look stunning against the black background.
