FINALIZED WALL with laser cut and fold paper, over partner's rectangular wall
PROCESS:
Thought of interconnected geometric systems like tessalations and penrose tilings, and of M.C. Escher's work, then tried create my own geometric system inspired by Escher's transitional approach and dynamicism of penrose tiling patterns.
First experiments on geometric repetition creating infinitely continuous patterns
Carrying the second pattern and repeating a module made out of paper to see its visual effect in desired 3' by 7' wall
Using one simple shape, like in penrose tilings, and repeating a parallelogram within other shapes for a more dynamic growth and continuity
Thinking of dynamicism in color as rotation creates flow
Created a dynamic pattern, which can grow and alternate, by connecting earlier geometric modules by overlapping parallelograms. Different colors indicate different types of modules in the making
First paper model of upper half of created pattern showing a symmetrical relationship
Editing design to have a more asymmetrical feel when combining my wall with my partner Sarah Kavanagh's more regular grid rectangular wall
Different types of modules, with tabs and slots to connect to, that I've laser cut and etched to create my final wall
