Pipe Cleaner Coca Cola Explosion
About This Piece
This project was assigned as our first exploration into 3D form in Design II, challenging us to reimagine how structures can be conceived and constructed. Working with wire opened up new perspectives on spatial relationships and form-making, pushing me to think beyond traditional sculptural approaches.
During our mini critique session, I received valuable feedback that helped refine my understanding of the medium. The discussion revealed how varying wire gauges could have enhanced the expressiveness of the piece, particularly in the exploding pipe cleaner elements, where different thicknesses would have created more dynamic depth and visual hierarchy.
