“Growth is a
spiral process, doubling back on itself, reassessing and regrouping.”
Julia
Margaret Cameron
Spiral Reconnection creates a fluid flow
from basic materials, making the shapes of waves that crash to a single point
then spirals around and connect back to a central point. Constructed from a
wooden dowel rod, the central point acts as a base for the plastic spiral that
flows from three points.
The plastic
flows from the fixed positions connect together then spin round to connect back
to the central section once again. The spiral that is created in the model is
emphasised by the quote by Julia Margaret Cameron “Growth is a spiral process, doubling back on
itself, reassessing and regrouping.” This explains the spiral process as
growth. Like Spiral Reconnection, the
spiral doubles back on itself to reconnect to the dowel. Also, Cameron states
that for growth, it needs to reassess and regroup. The model regroups again in
the middle and reassesses its composition, changing the path of movement.
Fluidity is
created through the curves made by a cloudy plastic material. The materials
used to create Spiral Reconnection reflect
the material used in the precedent images Wire Chair by Bertoia was a strong
influence in the overall model. The stand that supports Spiral Reconnection and keeps it upright uses a hook to attach it
to the dowel rod. Style and process is reflected in the wire chair. Hooks and
bends were used to connect the leg frames to the seat of the chair.
The
other precedent that influenced Spiral
Reconnection was an unnamed table in the Frankfurt Airport. The precedent
table appears to be like a propeller, which has been reflected in model
effectively. By having three parts spiralling from the central point, there is
influence from the precedent table. The dowel rod was influenced by the
wooden precedent table.
