Builing the pattern. floaty grids

Unique patterns

I nitoced that cardboard has a lovely pattern of zigzags sandwiched between the board and wanted to make the most of this quality. I cut the cardboard into slits and made grids of squares and rectangles.

Since the board is green on one side and brown on the other, depending on the angle you are viewing it from , the colour appears to shift when you move around it.

I experimented with different arrangements to see what interesting patterns would emerge .

Patterns from slotting

Slits and slots..

Marble experimental piece

I glued some marbles together and made a cool discovery.

Paper Changing experimental piece

I connected the shapes in a way so that the shapes can be moved around and the colours shift places.

Moving sculpture

I really like the idea of a sculpture that can physically change in appearance. I experimented with many different types of material and techniques of connecting as I tried to make a 3D object that could be manipulated and have a different effect without it being damaged or disassembled.

This moving sculpture is on a whole other playing field but I felt it blog-worthy, this is a video of an incredible kinetic sculpture. The fact that it is made entirely from cardboard(other than the motor) makes the natural-looking movement of the piece all the more impressive.
