Interpretive Model





For this project we had to choose one word from our Folded Field project and create a model based on it. I chose "continual." We created our model out of foam core, cutting about 30 separate layers and then gluing them together. Each individual layer had to be cut before it was glued. The "void"(or space cut away), not the model itself, was to show the interpretation.

My model is very mathematical. With each successive layer more foam is cut away. My idea was to create a continuous spatial sequence that would ideally extend to infinity had I included more layers. It resembles an escalating staircase. If you study it closely you can see that the void and model are inverses of each other.
