triangle phase 1


I entitled my presentation “a day with a triangle” because I actually cut a big triangle (60cm side x 60cm), and spent the day with it around kingston. I wanted to see how people would react to it, interact with it. And so I had a friend of mine film me during. a day with a triangle (I had some technical issues with pdf and the sound wasn’t working, so here it is with sound :)). I then asked people to hold the triangle, seeing how each would (If they had a positive or negative personality as David said, holding it upwards or downwards). A triangle is a very sharp shape having three corners, it is hard to live with it, and move around with it.  Then I made some triangles in nature, out of leafs and the inverse.
 While walking around, I found signs which were triangular shaped (and actually equilateral triangles!!).  I wanted to do triangles out of my hand prints with paint. and when I looked at the prints, I could see triangles in the lines of my hands.  So, I got butter paper, and I started drawing them.  I did the same with an orange print. The result wasn’t as interesting.  I then decided to go by the grid. Folding triangles. What came out of that was infinite shapes, you could fold the paper in so many ways.& that is just a random triangle. Did not have the intentions of doing that. Then I worked on negative space, and how the shadow/void of two triangles could form an equilateral triangle. I made a pyramid out of 4 triangles.
