LIGHT
Aim:
To make a semi-enclosed space and play with glass, mirrors and controlled light. To create light reflected patterns on the floor of the space.
Materials:
- glass/ mirrors/ reflective plexiglass
- wood/MDF/ MDO
- platform with wheels
- Fixtures**
** fixtures aren’t decided yet..
Machines used:
- CNC milling machine – to cut the outer enclosing space parts out.
- water jet – to cut the glass/mirror/plexiglass into small parts as well as bigger parts for the walls.
Some ideas of what i want to make.
Anish Kapoor’s hexagonal mirror
Plan :
To cut out mirrors /reflective plexiglass into different small shapes . Install them on to the ceiling of the semi-enclosed space leaving space for slits for light.
Install mirrors on the walls (the slits will be such as to direct light on to the mirrors on the wall so that light would reflect from the walls to the glass or mirrors on the ceiling forming patterns on the floor.
This week:
- figure out the fixtures
- Design the parts
- get the materials
- start cutting the parts-trial see if it works.
