ORIENTATION MODULE

In Orientation Module we were given limericks by Edward Lear, We started with the drawings by imagining and drawing the first image that came in our mind .We drew individual drawings with an old lady sitting on a stool eating the desert in her hand and her head getting infested with beads. As we developed the understand  about the poem we focused more on the infestation part  and developed a drawing based on this idea. We tried to show how big and bulky the infestation has grown with the beads layering the mass and also how the infestation has taken over the whole body and no body exists and it is just a big bulky beads infestation with layers and depths. Then we tried to put up the concept of deformity in our structure. We directed our design first in a more decorative style of using paper but then what clicked was making it structural by creating convex bulges. The fundamental of any sort of infestation is deformation, whether it be weathering of books or infestation in living things resulting in symptoms such as boils, sours and textures etc. The unique thing about this structure is that it’s made of only one element that is metal wires. From the very beginning we decided to create a basic foundation of thicker wire that could hold its curvature and created a grid that stayed upright along side the pillar. This was followed by layering weaves on the large sections which was essentially to show an endless movement and a column that was once stiff and upright was now deformed , uneven and severely unpleasant to feel and see, just like a body infested.
