Casting using stretched fabric.
The process began with experimenting with Plaster of Paris and a stretchable mold to create forms that is decided by gravity and the movement of the mold.
The above form was created using a stretched Lycra onto which Plaster was poured; the mold was rotated simultaneously to get an even layer of plaster.
Various models and thoughts later, it was decided to create a pattern with interlocking nodes, from the forms thus evolved. KUKA robots helped in getting the desired form, were one end was fixed and two ends held by robot arms that stretched to fabric to fill in the plaster.
The final set of individual units with the nodes to interlock to form a pattern. Each unit is unique.
