Straws





This maquette is made of about 250 coloured straws stuck into a piece of board. Once again, I am creating an inferred surface, this time through the use of points in space. The translucent nature of the straws also gives the piece a sense of volume. I can relate this work to a piece by Thomas Heatherwick who suspended balls of glass on high tensile wires to create a representation of lead flowing through water.
