Hey there. Here is another creation of mine for Form Study. We had to ‘hollow out’ bits of cube, looking for ideal forms and colour/tone contrast. I worked with black, white, and grey colour.
Here’s the description
The structure consists of one complicated space, only when the core is inside (the core can be taken out and positioned differently). Due to the mobility of the core, many different possibilities of dividing the space, therefore, the core is the most important element of the whole. The space(s) inside are never completely open or completely closed to the outside. The structure seems to be ‘hollowed’ out from the inside, similar to what a mole would do, with winding corridors.
The cube itself is 15cm x 15cm. From this we deduce an important proportion in the cube, that of 2.5cm, 5cm, etc.. However, 15 can also be divided by 3. This is not ignored, but rather introduced into the structure to bring variation to the otherwise strict proportions. Such cut is place on one surface of the cube and continues to the another surface. This cut is placed in such a way that its deviation from the other proportion is visible, but is integrated into the bigger structure by adapting it to the other proportion.
For this piece, I picked three colours, grey, white and black. While black and white are very contrasting, gray is excellent in softening this down and forms excellent medium for transition between the two colours. The colouring is made up of rectangular areas stuck onto the surface of the cube. This underlines the regular nature of the original shape, as well as achieving a very playful effect. If we look closer, we can see that what on the outside white is, is black inside, and vice versa. This is to bring in balance between the total of black and white areas. The planes originationg from the core are all neutral gray, because we cannot predict how the core will be placed, it is most practical to leave all options open, as not to ruin spacially brilliant position by mismatched colour scheme.

P.S. If you want the cube, or more pictures, just tell me (the one picture does not tell you much, it’s meant to be seen from all the different views).
