The three sets of legs are perfect for any kind of surface configuration. Leg length is adjustable. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: This installation is intended to be displayed statically.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The golden oval sphere was created by parametric 3D design software with two layers of concentric surfaces under an order of random openings. The sphere was 3D-printed in Nylon. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: The size is 23.5cm(W) x 30cm(H) x 12cm(D). The out-most surface is covered by gold foil. TAGS: flower stand, eyes, Mother Nature, parametric design, rapid-prototyping RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Researches were made to the composition of openings or penetrated hole to accommodate flower stems in a dazzling order. CHALLENGE: A parametric program was applied to create an order that is functional and also eye-catching. The vocabulary of openings or holes looks like random but actually is very flexible for different kinds of flower shapes. The two pairs of legs can be extended or retracted a little for different level conditions of surface. The entire sphere is covered by gold foil as a symbol of vision. But it is difficult to cover inside through such small and complicated openings. A golden paint was applied inside instead. The application of gold foil requires special skill.

The dry flowers or leaves were purchased from market as ready-made items for the display of different scenarios. The gold foil was applied by a local company named as Sheng Fan Buddha Handicrafts company. |
