The Vessels. Two found containers that overlap each other to create an interesting relationship. Frontal section drawing showing on the right. (Adobe Illustrator)
Still Life charcoal drawing from two set points of view, under a set lighting condition.
Hand crafted model of the vessels in 1.5:1 scale using only reductive method (carving) and no adhesive. Two sections are done at the end and drawings shown below. Foam, japanese saw, hot wire-cutter.
Axonometic drawing showing every major cuts during the reductive process as well as the sections made on the foam itself in dark. Graphite, Mayline. 1:1
New- Axonometric recording of carving showing two means of redection: sawing (black) and heat-knife (red). Plan with disected handle bar on the right. 1:1
Anamorphic Projection of the previously done charcoal drawing on the foam model. Black and white acrylic.
12 methods to measure and digitally model a 3" x 4" surface on the foam model in Rhinoceros.
Rhino wireframe model projected onto the charcoal drawing from the same view. The digital model showed that the orientation of the ceramic handle in the vessels setup has changed sometime after the drawing has finished.
The most accurate way of measuring my foam model is to use a surface contour gauge for the exterior and projecting lines in the interioir. A Rhino model above shows a simplified version of the vessels model by using series of accurately measured contour and projections in 1/2 inch increments. (The more layers of measurements the smoother the surface)
An alternative way to measure is finding points of interests within a surface and between the vessels. This method is more practical for construction and measurement for the final model.

Final: "It and It" , a new medium explored through my understanding of the dialoague between the three dimensional imaginary surfaces/frame surrounding the vessels.
Final: Processing script generated moving picture based on "it and it", an exploratory new medium elaborated from the concept of 3 dimensional projection in 2 dimensional plane.
Final model: A cloud of clustering lines intertwine and connect the opposing walls. Hard, measurable lines (plexiglass dowels) in combination with fragile and mutable lines (hotglue) shows the ever-changing dialogue between the boundaires and the vessels. The final exploration focus on an alternative way to measure and construct the vessels, a complicated hybird of both additive and subtractive method. , PETG, Plexiglass dowels, hotglue, plexi mirrors, MDF, Foam core.
