Part 3 of Studio Project

Just thought I'd share where my studio project was going.... for the 3rd part of the project, we were given someone else's "artifact" (I did the radio thing in the last post), and we had to design an environment, or field, for the object to exist in... a reliquary of sorts..

To make a long story short, I decided to make a box that would very simply organized by a grid, with tiny little doors and delicate hinges that would open on every panel, even when it wouldn't make sense for all the doors to open on the same space, like at a corner. It took forever, especially with the miniature hinges (which were intended for doll house doors ha!). The point was that you would open up each door and get a different framed view of the object. (the object was about fragments). Each view would also be filtered or blocked in one of 3 ways. Sometimes you would get a literal brick wall, other times just parts of the brick wall that you could see through, and then in just the netting behind the bricks. (In the middle panel it was a clear tunnel to the center of the artifact, which was the most important part). Anyways, here's how it turned out!

  1. Wow it turned out great! I would have so much fun flipping all the little doors open! How was it received by your classmates?

  2. Actually really good! Everyone loved the little hinges and wanted to flip all the doors open! which was fine, except when 2 of the doors ended up getting broken off right before the final review (a couple doors were still kind of delicate since the superglue on the hinges was still drying). But some last minute repairs and it was all good!

  3. Update: Sadly I made the dumb mistake of leaving the box somewhere I shouldn't have before Spring Break a few weeks ago. It looks like it got mistaken for trash and is gone now :(
