1 spiral islands by david trubridge
delicate cloud forms float over, and mirror, island seat forms below, like the puffy white
clouds that sit over the many islands scattered across the vast pacific ocean.
aotearoa, the maori name for new zealand, means ʻland of the long white cloudʼ.
what are the basic building blocks of nature?
how do these re-appear at different scales?
how can a designer use the same starting point to create a wide variety of objects?
in how many ways can a single spiral line be used?
spiral islands is an installation that provides some answers to these questions, with all new work exhibited for the very first time.
spirals included in the presentation are:
‣ carved wooden pebble bowls in bamboo
‣ semi-upholstered seat form islands
‣ cloud form lights
‣ fashion clothing by the nz label untouched world
