Push/Pull – Part 1: Objects – Tyler Koh For my assignment, I worked with muslin. Instead of having fabrics that match my inflatables, I decided to experiment with spray paint and different types of paint. Rubber Ducky (Not a Swan…) 2/3. Shirt and Jeans ! Work Process
Primitive Shape 1 Primitive Shape 2 Primitive Shape 3 When planning for the assignment, I decided to create muslin primitive shapes using existing patterns and add complicated shapes using the colored fabric. I drew out my ideas before jumping into the sewing machine (will post photos when I find the sketchbook!) but the …
Push/Push Part 1: Objects Elise Delgado Process: I focused on how I could evoke emotion with my pieces because I was interested in incorporating psychology into my work. I began with basic shapes and wanted to see how I could transform them into huggable monsters without drastically changing their shape nor adding a face (eyes …
First Inflatable I cut out random pieces of all different sizes and then tried putting them together. There was no planning with this approach, and that made it harder to connect the pieces. I was still learning how to cut the tape too, so it is still very rough. I did not really like this …
Overall, my process was to find colors that would go well together, and then randomly cut shapes and see how they could fit together in inspiring ways. In some ways, it was easier to let the pieces ‘decide’ where they wanted to go, although near the end of the form, decisions had to be made …
This assignment was very much an opportunity to learn through experimentation for me. I started making my forms after the second class, so I was very inspired by the geometric polyhedra we were constructing. I didn’t follow any particular plans for any of my forms, just making what I wanted to and learning through creation. …
For my first inflatables project, the soft sculptures that I molded out of plastic and tape were shaped out of already existing objects that I had pictured in my mind and that I wanted to create. Unfortunately I tried to start off by creating something too complex for my skillset and experience: the green spiked …
Reflecting on Inflatables The first inflatable I made wasn’t really inflatable at all, but it helped me get in the groove. My first idea was to design a shape based on my sketch of these white frogs on lily pads. Creating the lily pad was easy in comparison to the even more organic shape of …
I first approached this project planning to just cut out random shapes from the plastic and putting them together to what kind of unique and unexpected shape forms. My first inflatable is the fish that you see below. This was built with the go-with-the-flow approach in mind but as I went along, I realized I …
