When i think of geometry i immediatly think of complex mathmatics, although this is a huge part of geometry, and i have used very precise measurements in this collection, i was drawn into the beauty of geometry in nature. Once you acknowledge its alll around you, you really open your eyes to it and are touched by it everyday......I went geometry mad whilst designing this collection....I went searching for it everywhere.
I didnt have to look far.......
One of my first hand drawings of a beautiful plant i came across in the Eden Project, Cornwall
Another of my drawings of an amazing spiral fern that grow in the woodlands by my home.
My designs focus mainly on first hand drawings which use the fundamentals of geometry.
Initial drawings of how the designs started in 2D.....
From these primary drawings i then went onto make models and maquettes, that really helped bring together the design and bought up any initial mistakes.
These were a few of my paper maquettes, really enjoyable to make and gave a real sense of how the designs were going to look as a 3D piece.....
These were some of my favourite designs taken from the paper maquettes and made in copper.....
A sample of textures on copper.
My final designs in Silver. Three 'Geo Rings'
