As discussed in the Main project report, I have created a tealight holder. The dynamic aspect of the project comes in the functioning of the tealight holder. The shadows cast by this holder look like a fire because of the warm orange color of the flame and the flickering of the flame gives the shadow…

Since the first week of syllabus discussion in class, I had been fixated on a certain theme for my final project artifact. Initially, I did not exactly know what the artifact would be, but I wanted to conform it to the theme of light and shadow or the interplay between them. The project requirements needed…

My final project plan has been a very ambitious project, but I really wanted to complete it the way I envisioned it. Since the design preview, I had been working on modelling the primary sculpture to get the desired effect of projecting 2 shadows from 2 viewing sides. I tried stacking cardboard, modelling clay and…

As mentioned in my Main project plan and inspiration post, I have initiated my work on building an anamorphic sculpture. The main function of this sculpture is to act as a model to cast shadows from two views. The dynamic aspect of the project requirements will be met with the anamorphic design of the sculpture.…

As discussed in my Main Project Plan, I intend to make a sculpture which can cast different shadows different angles, an Anamorphous shadow sculpture. I really intend to highlight the co dependency of light and shadow. I am aiming to achieve a similar aesthetic by implementing a monochromatic aesthetic which highlights the black, whites and…

Following up on my aspiration of creating a sculpture that is both Anamorphous as well as is able to generate a meaningful shadow, I have come up with the following project plan. The most difficult part till now was the figure out exactly what sculpture should I design that can fit both the briefs. After…

I have always been fascinated with light and shadows. It has intrigued me that just changing the positioning of the light source over a physical model can create different shadows and effects.

For my up-cycling project, I had decided to use the extra electrical jumper wires lying around in my lab. The first task I identified was to set an aesthetic for my project artifact. Using the wires I had just as is, would not have conformed to a certain aesthetic and so I decided to strip…

I have been around electronics and wires for as long as I can remember. Every once in a while we used to have excess wires which have some random issues with them (too short to be used, burnt insulation, etc) because of which they get discarded and just are stored in bulk in one corner.…
