Material Research
Precedent
For my initial concept I'm trying to explore the idea of 3d forms being the sum of smaller, more complex parts and how these parts affect the materiality of an object. I see my precedent image as a fairly literal example of this idea, up close this is a wall clearly made up of a multitude of small, individually complex stones but as a whole they form a much simpler, larger form.
I think scale has a massive influence on any kind of 3d material form and how it is perceived. Obviously the more/smaller parts there are making up an object then the bigger possibility for more complex materiality and form however where the object is being looked upon from can also have a massive impact on this. Taking this stone wall as an example if you were to look at it from a distance its materiality would be seen as a lot smoother, possibly even flat and as one plain colour because of its scale relative to the eye, which as can be seen, is completely different to when viewed up close.
