Continuing the exploration between container and object; “A Thing Inside A Thing” is the subsequent project to “A Thing”. This project is required to be an occupiable scale while pushing prior techniques from “A Thing” where color masks the overall form. The studio studies how techniques of emerging, obscuring, and hiding the interior object can influence the form of the exterior container.  

 

I am focusing on how primitive shapes, simple by themselves, create complex spaces when used simultaneously. Through systematically wrapping a bar around a cone I use three bars and three cones to develop the entire object form. The bar becomes the exterior container and cone is interior object to generate an entangled ontological relationship. The bars are always present on the exterior of the form while the cones are emerging, obscured, and hidden. An interesting relationship is created between bars and cones as they become codependent in their orientation- never seeing an entire bar or cone. In side elevation, intersection moments between wrapped bar and cone can be seen when one cannot define if the form is bar or cone.
