Pattern Universe – Final Brief – Models

Hi there, Here are some photos of the model I made as a test run for my actual installation. I was very happy with the overall result, I had some fine details such as what pattern to use if at all and would I print on both sides or just the one side?

Initially I had thought I would either print or cut out ‘Vitruviuan Man’ onto each of the fractals but after talking to Jill I decided that because of the size of the fractal pieces I would lose too much detail.

And so the model making begins.

Model-1

Mapping out the design with a compass, thinking about tapas cloth and the nautical compass North, South, East and West.

model-2

Drawing on inspiration from Ernesto Neto.

model-3

Liked the way my pencil marks made another pattern, it looks a little bit technical but not perfect, a little rough around the edges.

model-4

Starting to accumulate a number of different sizes.

model-6

Cutting out he inserts, they make lovely shapes, a curved triangle. I’m thinking at this stage that I want to do something with these extra bits…

model-5

The larger shapes have more definition.

model-7

Starting to put it all together.

model-8

Getting some interesting positive and negative shadows where the light shines or doesn’t…

model-9

My final overall look for the installation. Height and gravity vs static flat. The pattern on one side of the card was from an experiment last year with creating different textures, it looks good on the model but I’m still hooked on Vitruvian Man.

Hi there, originally from Wellington, NZ and coming from a multicultural background I balance my father’s colorful and passionate Samoan heritage with my Mothers more practical and fiery Scottish heritage. Having travelled and lived a whole other life I returned to school as a mature student to satisfy my passion for all things creative and to further my love of all things painterly. Nowadays my husband and I live in the beautiful Hastings, Hawkes Bay surrounded by mountains, rivers and sea. I continue to draw inspiration for my work from those that inhabit the space around me and the colour and drama of the physical landscape both rural and urban. As a painter of abstract forms, lines and stripes I am inspired by the notion of space, that area between that is unseen, but where things happen. In Samoan culture there is a word that describes this notion perfectly, Albert Wendt defines it as; “Va is the space between, the betweenness, not empty space, not space that separates, but space that relates, that holds separate entities and things together in the Unity-that-is-All, the space that is context, giving meaning to things.” I am inspired by the energy generated by the diversity of those around me and the everyday things that we encounter in going about our day to day business. This space is ever changing and supplies endless inspiration for my paintings and drawings.
