PSEUDOMORPHS

 

OBJ.001 is a different way of holding, containing and displaying a deck of cards - the fusion of two thick rectangular blocks that accommodate the dimensions of a mini deck of cards on the interior. One block intersects the other at an arbitrarily chosen angle, and when boolean unioned are sliced at another angle to create two unequal halves. OBJ.001 can only be properly closed/stood in one or two not so obvious ways, requiring conscious manipulation of the object to be of proper utility. The result is an object that has a unique way of doing something that would otherwise be pretty straightforward - holding and displaying a deck of cards. Being 3D printed, there are possibilities for more irregular forms following a similar additive or subtractive process which I'll continue to explore in the future and for other applications as well. The aim here and with forthcoming Pseudomorphs is to test different ways for objects to do typical things, extracting new insights or forms from a deliberately unusual approach.
