inspiration
• BRAINSTORM ideas inspired by an existing piece, an experience, a memory, the natural world, a pattern, a feeling, or simply the imagination.
• DISCUSS the possible emotional responses, sensations, moods, or recollections these ideas might elicit. How might they transport one to another place, time, or state of mind, what kind of vibration or pulse might radiate?
• EXPLORE the possibilities of translating these ideas into a dimensional thing, a shadow-casting physical object to be touched, experienced, observed, and meditated in over time.
exploration
• EXPLORE + GATHER collections or families of inspirational visual references
• BUILD IMAGE BOARDS that combine these visual ingredients in a way that helps narrow the focus and define the concept
• USE IMAGE BOARDS to help determine material, texture, and color palette studies, composition and dimension considerations, and solidify the overall design direction
