Box expirience

On that day we where told to great a box environment that would be a dark space that we would sit in and get some visual research from inside of it, we had to created the box structure with out using anting else than the box so i had to use slots to hold the peaces of card board together which worked well

I wanted to have a pyramid top which has made my work  harder I thought of a some different ideas to and was testing them out if they would work but finally i thought that having a peace  of cardboard and rolling it up in to a pointy cone and placing it on the top of the structure but I ripped a layer of a carton box to make it more flexible so it had more chance of forming a cone it was hard to archive but I did it however i had to make some cuts in the bottom of it so it would fit over the top of the card box structure it worked ok however there was a bunch of light coming through which made the experience less exiting as I recorded my feelings from inside the box with pictures and text in the sketch book


then we were allowed to use other materials to extend our work so with tape i made my structure solid and have much less light coming through that had changing the experience however it was still brighter than i would like it to be, I had to look around the box to spot any interesting details shapes or streams of light because we are working on our idea generation trying to see something interesting where on a first glance you see nothing interesting.

At first I decided to show my emotions by painting the out side of the structure trying to show my experience from inside the box but I was not happy with the final outcome


the structure I had created was big and had an interesting form I thought I resembles a hut / a bell and a bird cage so I thought it would be interesting if i transform the form to look like an actual bell that people can sneak under and look inside where some work would be display.
To transform the structure i decided to with with PVA glue and newspapers so I covered the structure in newspapers using the glue and it made it firm, to have more bell apparel ill have to cut the top diagonally and build it up again to have more rounded shape at the top and a wanted to thicken it a some parts with papermache.
