Contraption

I have recently been doing some sketching over those sketches completed a while ago, but never considered for development. I started looking at my proposal for the series of wearable objects and the proposal of the adjustable device, and now I realise there is an opportunity to merge them. Still, through these sketches I understood that the Imaginative Wear series should employ real space imagery, while the sketches here are probably a further development of that idea of dynamic contraption from 2011, pushed and reworked in terms of construction. It will still work with body postures and would make up that series never produces after the final outcome in 2011 as one piece and could be transformed and adjusted.

Sketch above was completed this year, but then sketches over it and below are the most recent ones. The latter indicate how technical problems could be resolved, and, instead of creating a heavy construction of acrylic joints, this could be a light yet adjustable device. Moreover, I have been testing 3D printing recently, so I am planning to work more with dome-like shapes rather than vault-like ones.
