#wire model

I crafted this tiny wire model back in 2013. It's built of copper wire.

this shape has a very interesting handling - it wobbles, it's still merely stable, but it's still very flexible.

Back in 2013 this was how I imagined an elementary particle's coiled 'string' (partially relates to string theory).

Now look at the wobbly model when shaken:

The ingredients:

- toroidal helix wire model

- a broken glass bowl

- lamp

- cat (not included)

Lamp + broken glass bowl:

Concept model showing possible access routes buried into the site that lead to a tower. The tightly wound shape represents a tunnel underneath the site whereas the rectangular wire frame represents a tower that is above the surface. This model became part of the basis for my final concept , despite the messy nature of the process - it’s value to my development was critical.
