Nests...

Project models from 1988 recreated in SketchUp - Selected forms within Juan Gris' Breakfast are cut and folded along one of their respective edges. The painting plane is then folded into a box to create a cubic armature, which is then collapsed to create an additional cruciform support - originally 'boxed folds,' become 'nests.'

2011_1126_Room_Ride_2011

A project from 1986 revived in SketchUp.

"Room/Ride" - Arising out of dissatisfaction that the painting had simply generated horizontal planes in the Design Centre and that the building represented a programme rather than being reflection of a poststructuralist space, the Room is a further development of the use of the painting and attempts an architectural space "as is". Perhaps, it could be seen as an alternative to the endless perspective of a universal grid or as a hidden corner within the grid. The painting is folded into a box - the room and planes are projected to create both horizontal and vertical enclosure. A reading of the painting in terms of lines and volumetric fragments are added so that no single interpretation is stressed. A further transformation involves the rotation of an armature of planes so that the structure becomes a-centric.

2011_0900_coupled

In order to create a denser form and greater spatial complexity, Coupled (1987) takes two models from the Gates series (#1 and #4) and combines them, registering them along their respective bases.

2011_0800_gates

The Gates series (1987) continues earlier painting transformation experiments (slicing, projection...) with simple folds along shape outlines that become structural and self-supporting. In the tradition of large, metal sculptures, the original postcard models were painted black to articulate the new forms.
