Week 7A
With ideas from the previous week, I have researched into artists and their work that would inspire me before I moved on to making any further progress. The artists that caught my eye were Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec and Junya Ishigami.
I thought Clouds by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec was interesting in that the sculpture triggers curiosity. With some of their works being featured in front of display walls, it is difficult to guess what is behind the structure. One just has to take a guess, while multiple ideas pass through their mind. In order to highlight obscurity, I thought it would be a good idea to produce a patterned structure that covers part of the space, in order to give the viewers more creative room to imagine and explore the space.
The design project of Kanagawa Institute of Technology by Junya Ishigami also caught my eyes in that the space looked like both an indoor and an outdoor space. Not only with the pots being placed throughout the area but also with white poles stretching out to their ceiling, reminding me of thin tree trunks. From the irregular placement of the pole, the space almost seems like a forest despite being an interior space.
