Surface and Light

In this exercise, I explored creating an inverse translation of a perforated texture from a chair and a ceiling space from Knight Hall from a photo to a digital model. The models were explored using two different techniques; one which was inversely abstract, and the other attempted to create a form from a perspective in the oblique. The perforated texture/pattern inspired space model was more fruitful and provided a variety of primary, secondary, and tertiary spaces, using similar components.  The model uses a translation of a curved surface curved in 2-3 directions from lofting 2 segments, and took the inverse role of the "hole" in a perforated pattern, where as the "holes became the solid figures in the space.
After studying the various lighting techniques, a shift in material was initiated to use more reflective properties of light, and less light sources to achieve the attempted goal.

  1. Your compositions are very intriguing, but I really wish you had chosen a second view that was more distinct from the first one.
