Reverberation in the Skin
of a Fluid
This work
investigates the generative forces of form by observing the relationship
between the nature of materials and external forces.
The investigation
began with a string attached to a spinning motor.The action of spinning
a string revealed a wave: a balanced relationship between the resistances
of the mass of string and the forces generated by the spinning motor and
gravity. Recording the phenomena through a strobe light (a pulsing source
of light), photography and video, documented and revealed the emerging
patterns of behaviour inherently present, but hidden from the naked eye.
The string was substituted
for a strip of fabric soaked in a plaster compound to contain and arrest
its resisting form to the gravitational and centrifugal force through
the setting and strength properties of the plaster. The fabricated form
was multiplied to make a mass of the "rib-bone" like structures.
As a further force, the community of rib components rests upon a member
made of bamboo under tension.
