P01: The Bespoke Object, Proposal.


Plan A.

Brief description of your concept

Plainly, to create a Pink Inflatable Crocodile.

This object would become part of a multimedia installation, that is about deep-ecology mediated through satirical narratives. 

In this installation the crocodile would be humorously narrating its life through karaoke. It is intended to be a multi course-project, I would specifically be making the soft sculpture for this object design class(OBDF.311A), and associated media required for the full installation would be made in other Major specific studio course. (MADT.451A)  

This project is meant to be part of an on-going thematic body of work that investigates regeneration and deep ecology philosophies.  

Mockups:





Interpretation of the theme "Bespoke"

My interpretation of the theme relies mostly on the fact that the object is fully customized. And its main purpose is to accompany a full installation. Just like custom-made clothes being "bespoke" to the person wearing them. My crocodile is an important actant into the narrative of this installation. It has a part to play, and without it, the whole effect of the installation would would not be resolved. 

Process: 

The goal for this project is to create a soft sculpture to accompany an media installation. 

My process for this is exactly similar to the papercraft project in Object Design 110. To create a model and using its planes to make sewing patterns. 

Ex. from a past project. 




The only difference with the papercraft project, Is instead of working on polygonal/ planar surfaces. You would be working with meshes, When working with soft objects there is a need for more vertices to ensure that things wont deform once constructed.
