This is a series of different drapes-referencing a paper mache type construction.

I started to experiment with mummy type drapes to allow a non uniform aesthitic. I think this will be much more effective than the overall drape I did earlier. It will show a broken up nature of the image which I need in order to only hint of a mass.

Developments with Extrusion and Drape.















Drape from the top.













The imprint image of the face hints to a mass once being present, but now only its space remains. This appeals to what im trying to show.

Variations in the appearance of a mask.


These images show variations in definable masks.

-LIA DE SAIN
Gouden Kooitje.
this references the idea of percieved mass/volume.
-DANIAL KRUGER

this could be an example of the drape tool.

this mache hints to a solid mass.
-WARWICK FREEMAN

could be an example of the drape tool.
-HILDE FOKS
Malien kap
for me this has strong links to my idea-the large linear form is unable to physically contain a volume.

Project_03: part 3: To explore the illusion of volume in a mask of Marc Newson.

The perceived volume of a draped mask will best show the negative space I have been trying to emphasise in several of my earlier Rhino drawings. The face will be removed from behind the draped mask, leaving only a void, however its impression will remain unchanged giving the image an appearance of volume.




-these images,(furniture and clothing by Marc Newson, lower drawings by myself) show the perceived volume of a mass that has been removed or is intended. The sculpture, for me, shows a large mass devoid of a large volume. These all reflect my initial concept.

The idea of Lego construction as Boolean Union.


These images(google image, unknown sites) show the simple union between objects. this is similar to the Boolean Union command in the equation A+B+C.

A+B+C process

This and the series of drawings below reference the idea of lego construction through the unplanned small scale that they turned out.
