Building a Protoptype - structure

The project started to become real, finally, once I started building the prototype. One to one scale, mentally making sense of the steps that will ultimately become my method for building four of them, and evaluating the physicality of the built-structure - visually and how the body experiences it.

Throughout the process, I took my time to adjust my original vision to what was happening physically in front of me. I needed to experience this part of the process as an artist who was following intuitions that were tied to my original vision, not as a designer following a plan that I had loosely laid out.

Adding the warp was a process of exploration, testing out materials, making sure I could source enough for the entire project, and making decisions that will be durable over the duration of the project.

A mix of yellow, mold-resistant, polypropylene rope ultimately did the trick.
