Cones!

Because I was thinking of simple shapes and repeating them I suddenly thought about cones and how easy it could be to make a structure. I started off by cutting out different sized and length circles out and ,making them into cones and then sticking them together I also stuck them into each other having a smaller cone in a bigger one! The shadows that they create in and around the cones are great.





Heres some ptimary research on cone shaped objects and natural forms that could inspire me to think of a new way to put cones together.





Heres some more research on cone shapes and artists that have used paper, the piece below is a shop floor design of a paper cave which is a great example of the use of repetition and how effective it can be.


This is a great piece for inspiration as ive already being playing around with sort of idea, i like that the cones arent attached to anything so that when you lift the sculpture up it looks like a beehive with all the small holes at the end which is pretty cool if it was a hanging piece.


I love making jewelery and this is a beautiful way of using cones but I dont think this is made out of paper and its also attached with a chain which my brief doesnt allow, but still its a lovely idea and makes me think about the many ways I can apply my skills and creativity.
