We're All Mad Here!

Modular Madness Assingment: Create a 3-dimensional piece that shows rhythm, pattern, and modulation out of similar found   objects.

I was really excited when we got this project and had/have a million ideas as to objects I could use. However, it didn't take me long to decide on using paper plates. I had begun construction on a piece of my own a while back that involved using small, cut circles to create a 3D modular piece, but ended up giving up on it in frustration. This project gave me a way to go back and finish what I started in a way.

First day of installation.

The piece changes with each plate I install, and though I can guide it along, ultimately it decides where it wants to go. Each plate I add drives the placement of the next.
