Spatial continuity is explored through the assemblage of module-based geometries that conceal and reveal light through various formal patterns and arrangements.

This project focuses on the formal and spatial possibilities of ceramics, whereby a long period of research on the material’s physical characteristics was done. By utilizing the slip casting method, we generated a highly complex modular piece that through an assemblage would generate continuities of form, light and shape that would engage light in a playful manner. Through the creation of the helicoid surface and its periodic twist trimmed and mirrored, we were able to produce a form that would aggregate in multiple directions. Through the alignment of the piece perpendicularly, horizontally and straight, a variety of configurations of light filtration is generated both revealing and concealing light from surface to surface.
