Form Studies

Year:

2023

Duration:

3 weeks

The objective of this course is to distill the core essence of a subject and express it through varying levels of abstraction. The aim is to progressively refine and communicate the fundamental nature of the form in the most minimalistic yet impactful manner. This exploration involves deconstructing complex shapes, identifying their essential elements, and reimagining them in a way that conveys their true character with clarity and elegance. The ultimate goal is to master the art of conveying maximum meaning with minimal form, achieving a harmonious balance between simplicity and expression.

SIMPLIFYING GRAIN CLUSTER

The variation in grain and seed cluster sizes causes the form to be associated with crystals.

TESSELATING PATTERN

Incorporating a tessellating pattern on the top helps strengthen the connection to the original forms.

SIMPLIFYING GRAIN CLUSTER

Abstracting the design by removing the volume and focusing solely on the tessellating pattern.

The forms resonates with crystals or meteoroids as a source due to their unique growth patterns and angular finishes. Additionally, the use of Veronoi tessellation in the abstracted form strengthens the connection to the original inspiration, enhancing the essence of the source.

Focusing on the translucent properties of the source to move away from the association of the abstracted forms with crystals or meteoroids, while creating a stronger connection with the original inspiration.
