The Act of Making

 

In the end there was something else!

The most interesting aspect of these follies was their continued state of change, whether it be a ground up construction or their ultimate demise. Each stage reviled something new and exciting. It became clear after the first follie that the void spaces, for me were most exciting. How they began to dictate the form of both the 2nd and 3rd iterations is something that I will continue to experiment with throughout this stage research. Construction destruction construction, produced a number of interesting moments, the light within the void and the form created through the destruction of the paver's is something unplanned, yet it followed a simple set of rules. It had a certain level of organic growth, all be it through my actions. How did my decision making effect this form? I would suggest that the rules set up by myself were constant, "break - place", however the end point was never ascertainable until the tipping point was reach. As the rules of construction did not change at this point the follies ultimate transition to a new state was imitate. Growth of a construct was an attempt to model through the inverse or void conditions. Once again a process was put in place which was not deviated from. This model provided me with some very unexpected condition, for one its continued growth was very exciting and its ability to withstand the tidal conditions for an extended amount of times offered up a large number of conditions of change. Time, perseverance, shadow and form were all a strong aspect of the beauty within this model.
