Monolith
Duration: 3 weeks
Winter 2024
Multi Grip, Ergonomic, Monolith
Goal is to create a monolith with multiple assumed points of contact, by designing a form which the user is drawn to, both, visually and tactilely
skills: Design Sketching, Human Interaction, Clay Modeling, Wood Working
Sculpting
Started by sculpting a blob of clay into a more defined shape through creating multiple points of pressure, then gradually taking out mass in those areas.
Visual Refinement
Moved into 2d visualization to establish the aesthetic, which continued on the idea of taking out mass in areas where the grip would be unaffected or enhanced. This in turn helped create a more dynamic appearance
Updated Clay Model
Updated model after sketches
Converting To Wood
Cut clay model into slices, traced onto a board, cut on bandsaw, and then stacked and glued them in order.
