Acetate Pieces



The change of colour as the different coloured pieces cross over works well. These would be excellent in translucent acrylic, using this would enable me to create a similar piece but larger scale.

Capturing Moments


The tension created by having this sculpture coming from the wall is really effective. I like how the material makes the piece look so delicate. The way gravity pulls the piece down it gives the impression you have caught the moment just before it collapses. This idea of capturing a fleeting moment is something I only realised after analysing it afterwards.

Initial Sculpture

This is the first sculpture I made; taking influence from the drawings where I coloured in the gaps of the photocopied circuit drawing.

I then made similar sculptures to these using different colours and bases. The next few posts are these trail sculptures.

I also looked into using acetate due to its translucent qualities.

Gridded Drawings


I photocopied the drawing above so I could explore different ways of drawing with it.





Synapse and Spaces

I started exploring how thought and how ideas are formed in the brain. Looking at things like the synaptic gaps and neurone networks. This lead to my initial small drawings exploring ways to present these circuits and networks.

These sketchs were to be used as ideas for larger scale sculptures. To get the drawings more regimented I wanted to develop them on gridded paper.
