for this assignment, we were told to make a five-sided box of corrugated cardboard or foam core. the interior of the box should be white and the dimensions should be 12" x 12" x 18" with one 12" x 12" end left open. by using a remote light source that shines through a series of openings in the pox, create a pattern of light within the box that divides the space into four parts. we were then told to articulate and modulate selected planes of the space to reinforce or compliment the illuminates parts of spaces we created. we could used white bristol board and/or bamboo grilling skewers to articulate or modulate the planes.
for my project, I really struggles with finding ways to incorporate the bristol board and bamboo skewers. in the end, I just decided to use the bristol board in a very minimum way. at first I messed around a lot with a lot of different types of cuts and holes, but in the end I decided I wanted to make the pattern of light very simplistic and clearly divided the light and dark spaces into four sections.
I chose to make the intersection of the four lines in the corner because I thought it was a very important part of the effect. I didn't like the way it looked on the sharp corner where the three boards met, so I put a piece of bristol board to soften that edge and put even more importance on that moment.
