Hybrids...

What happens when Rubber Bands, Tea Bags and Paper Fasteners meet in a cellular fashion...?

You get a 'TeaNA' double helix!

 

Nothing like a cuppa...



Growth...

Cell growth...

And it's relevance to the growth of my linking structures.

I made my links...

I drew my links...

I photocopied my link drawings multiple times...

Then I cut them up to create a collage of links, linking in a way that resembled cell formation...

See results below...

When creating my collage I wanted to centre the idea on the dividing nucleus.

Although I wanted the central nucleus to be the source of the whole link line...like hair growth that grows from the scalp but doesn't grow in width...just length.

With my cell link chain you can see the different mutations of chain type that have occurred along the length on the cell structure.

Cultivating Connections

Much like Culture Connect...

Yet surprisingly different...

"karma karma karma karma karma chameleon........."

The largest possible permeable/open structure...

A dense layered structure...

A textured decorative structure...

Repetition and Variation

Making Connections...

Links...

"Kriss Kross will make you JUMP JUMP..."

Yes... more links...just different shapes...

But Wait!

Next week there'll be MORE!!!

Week 9

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

I was sick I tell you...

Sick as a dog...

Like I'd been ridden hard and put away wet (horse reference)...

I was ill...

Poorly...

I broke the thermometer...

I couldn't make it to class.

Flinders Lane Drawing Excursion

On our last day of having Natalia as our teacher she took us out to Flinders Lane for a bit of remedial drawing. "Draw Flinders lane as it best represents Melbourne"...
