SEQUENCE
Beauty and fusion of sequential and non-sequential elements
By audience, artifacts, and environment
DESIGN: Environment & Set of 4 luminaires
PROJECT TYPE: Academic
MEDIUM: Porcelain, Stoneware, Glaze
DIMENSION: ~W5” x D5” x H12”(Each Column)
DATE: Spring 2022
The Sequence is a luminaire design set using figure of raw stones and light. The Sequence explores and wanders within the boundary of sequential and non-sequential elements of display, materiality, and vision, while it conceptualizes and utilizes its visual concept into different scaleable environments and applications.
The Collision of
Sequence and Non-sequence
When the non-sequential wild stone texture and form coexists with shreds of light in a sequential stacking and display, a sensation of cognitive contrast regarding to the existence of natural and manmade objects is presented.
The Sequence is the interpretation of human-nature relation; people are volatile through their process of existence and involatile in their ending, while nature is relatively all volatile. This contrast of volatility inspired the sequential and non-sequential contrast of the crafted piece.
Sensation of Sequential Contrast by Immersive Environment that Presents Design in Different Scales.
The Sequence is conceptualized as Scale-less-ness: the concept that its visual and sensation are meant to be connected into different scaleable environments, such as product, interior, and architecture. The audience will be affected by the visual through different approaches.
The Sequence is initiated with the interpretation of human civilization and nature as an inspiration of its color and form, and eventually is evolved into its concept.
It is interpreted as the columns of human civilization and nature in different stages. The set of luminaire represents the whole cycle of human civilization from the preliminary age to the deterioration of civilization. Its color use of more vivid red and green turns into somber blue and grey for the latter two columns.
Slip casting of porcelain and stoneware is used to replicate the stone texture while deconstruction and reconstruction of individual stone ceramics turned into columns of sequence with uses of sprayed glaze.
