In my collection of surface models, inspired by my artist model Michael Hayden I focused on movement, colour, pattern/repetition and scale.

Hayden’s works are generally designed in large public spaces where people are constantly moving around. He uses many bright colours and I noticed a recurring theme of displaying them in dark spaces.

The first model I made was very much focused on repetition and movement. The look that I was trying to achieve was from point of view of the person in the space, and how the scale of the installation decreases the further person looks in the space. That being the reason the scale shrinks in my model, trying to achieve that same effect.
In my second model, the thread entangled was to represent the movement of the people through the airport terminal space. This model conveyed the busyness and chaos of the energy of each person moving through the terminal. I also wanted to highlight the skinny curved linear pattern in the ceiling of Hayden’s installation – thread is also representing this aspect of his design.
For my last model I wanted to see how I could combine both models into one. I applied the scale, colour and movement. It was interesting to see what shadows the thread made against the colourful wall of my model, which I think communicated the scale aspect well.

In general, each model created interesting shadows that I could apply to my design in the site.

The feedback from my group members suggested for me to explore with more reflective materials, photographing in different lighting conditions and coloured lighting filters.
