Creating Dialog

For the Dialog project we had to create two spaces for of our project using 12 skewers and 12 (4"x6") planes of bristol board.




For my first model I put 3 pieces of bistol board on the front and three on the back and sandwiched the skewers in between. Then i used the remaining bristol board and curved the planes in between the two structures. This did not create a clear dialog and I was not happy with the outcome ove the overall look. There was not two clear spaces, there was many more than that.




The curves worked well and i wanted to keep that same idea going in the next model so I sandwiched the skewers again only this time I put the curves along the bottom and gave the piece a bottom to sit on giving it a curved look. The only problem was that It did not give enough explaination to where the two spaces were. If they were moved up it became one space. So it was on to another idea.


Keeping the curved idea going I curved the planes back on one another and allowed the skewers to pierce through the planes creating a domed look to it. The spaces in between each plane were small enough to you would not consider them an actual place. The centers of the curves of each one gives a clearly defined space. The dialog that I created was like two strangers meeting and conversating. At first its jagged and akward for the two people. However, as the conversation moves on both become more relaxed and calm so there can be an open dialog. When the conversation is over it is more smooth and slowly breaks off. That is where the skewers come together at the ends.
