 <\/p>\n

<\/span>Juni 2021<\/em><\/p>\n

The center of our collaboration is an infinite pattern of circles often described as sacred geometry, which we both had used as a base for our respective works in the festival in the UAE, and which naturally blend to create new levels of three-dimensional form.<\/p>\n

Where Matt uses helix forms often in his work, I have chosen straight lines in the pattern to generate hexagonal forms in my work. Both of these approaches see the work as part of a much larger, infinite system that we only see a small piece of.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The question is: \u201cCan we create a module, that can be combined infinitely, and can this be applied in countless contexts? Can we design it in long-lasting and sustainable materials? Can we develop it in a way, that appeals to the viewer\u2019s own participation, so that the final expression becomes the users\u2019?\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The first sketches were made in October 2019, working from Matt\u2019s workshop in Raleigh NC, USA. Since then a regular exchange of sketches, thoughts, and models has kept the project alive through Covid-19.<\/p>\n

In May of 2021 we have been working at the Danish Art Workshops<\/a> with the goal of getting deeper into design and further development, focused on form and material solutions for durability, sustainability, and usability.<\/p>\n
