27 fishes...

A weird thought...

Instead of making a structure for human beings i want to create a underwater structure for 27 fishes.

*(Don't ask me why 27 fishes.. the number just pop up and it sounds good.)

Try cutting and folding from one piece of art card



































Making structure from paper plates

















































































































Trying out several forms:

-layering/concave/convex (create constrast out of repeated pattern)

*Change from light stick to glowing in the dark nail polish which is rechargeable and it gives a stronger glow.

Concept: A wearable structure/body as landscape

1.) The concept of my work is having human body as landscape. This idea contrast and challenges the perception that building(architectural structure) is build from ground/land.

2.) Hence, I intend to construct a wearable building and allow audience to interact with the work.

3.) To create visual contrast I've painted glow in the dark fulid on the structure.

4.) The purpose of applying starch to the singlet is to harden the material and allow audience to wear it on. (Not very feasible) --- Trying other materials.

5.) The final work is visualised to have a coat like structure so that it would be easy for audience to put it.

Making a structure from artcard






























































Step 1: Collect glowing fluid from lightstick

Step 2: Apply fluid to the structure

Step 3: Testing out the glowing effect. (The glowing fluid evaporate very fast.)
