This is my concept of the twelve twigs assignment. I created twelve rolls in a systematic way made up of pages from a book. Once I got to this point Tommy and I talked about the meaning of the text on the book pages.
Therefore when I moved on to creating the red datum I decided to type out the seventeen words (box, enclosure, paddock, system, sty etc.) on a red background. The technique I used to create my datum was found through a 'mistake' during my trail and error process. I evenly lay down hot glue in a specific shape onto the desired paper-in this case the seventeen words on a red background. Once the hot glue dries I peel it up. The neat thing about this process is that you pull up the background along with the glue and you can see it through the now hardened hot glue. I thought this incorporated my binding agent as well as making a aesthetically pleasing datum.
My twigs are placed inside of the paper rolls. I arranged them in a way that my curvy twigs curves towards the centerline of my project. I placed the sturdier, straighter sticks in the middle, with the tallest in the center.
If you look closely at my project(click on the picture to enlarge) you can see that I chose to arrange the rolls so that it alternated between the text being right-side up and upside down. I did this because when they were all arranged right-side up youre eye skimmed over the project, just like a book. When I alternated them it occupied your eyes more and made you pay more attention to the structure.
I steered away from my original idea of using magazine pages versus the text pages because I think that the text makes a more powerful statement and goes well with my green twigs and red datum.
This is a(n informal) picture of my project:
