DESIGNING MOVEMENT:  An Aesthetic Investigation of Motion in Product Design

 

"P"

These pieces were made for a television commercial.  I was commissioned by a graphic artist to create 8 sculptures, one for each letter in the word "simplify."  When shot next to each other, the works would assemble into a legible whole.  The idea was to combine filmed footage of these pieces with graphic animation.

Rather than develop a compact kinetic vocabulary for the series, I chose to employ a broad variety of mechanical techniques to achieve greater interest and impact.  I relied on material choices and pacing of elements to achieve continuity across the series.

The project unfortunately fell apart before I could complete the letter "M" sculpture.
