Multiplicity Project
Multiplicity Project
Concept/Prompt
The light bulb is a symbol of ideas. By using this in a multiplicity project, I desire to show a connection of ideas. Either how ideas are uniquely, and geometrically connected, or more randomly connected but can still support each others "weight", metaphorically speaking. The Light Bulb I chose specifically for this project is a night light bulb. The night light is a symbol of protection and youth. Mixing ideas, connectedness, protection, and a youthful spirit, I hope to create 5 delicate forms that represent all of these features. I also hope to take a recognizable object, and make it slightly unrecognizable at first in its new form.
Multiplicity and Night Light Bulbs
As one light bulb, there is potential for greatness and project. But in a large number, the lights bulbs symbolize protection, connection of ideas, and reaching full potential.
Schedule
9/15-9/18: Complete making full fast, make both sides of cast. Have 16 bulbs in slip cast step by Friday. Create some mock up designs with pictures of original bulbs, draw these designs.
9/19-9/21: Keep designing different ways for bulbs to be put together to create a different end form. Begin connecting forms to see how the weight holds up. Make 16 more bulbs.
9/22-9/25: Finalize a design that you will use and begin making final forms. Make 16 more bulbs.
9/26-9/28: Finishing making 2 forms. Make 16 more bulbs.
9/29-10/1: Begin work on third and forth forms. Make 16 more bulbs.
10/2-10/5: Finish work on third and forth forms and begin making fifth form.
10/6-10/9: Finish fifth form and do fine tune touches on all forms.
