The gridded structure of separate functioning pieces contrasted against organic colors and free moving shapes defines the direction of this design. Dictation can also be found through the interpretation of Artist inspiration, Stephen Murray’s work as well as his personal design philosophy; “You can’t look at my pieces of work individually. You have to see them as a whole to understand the bigger picture…. I’m not sure what the bigger picture is that I’m working towards yet, but believe me there’s a bigger picture.”
Application to Model:
These ideas were applied by creating an abstract structure, using the gridded design as the main object of focus. The grid was broken into pieces, each on their own sheet of transparency paper. When looked at from the side, the broken up pieces are clearly seen, acting on their own. When looked at directly forwards, the pieces become aligned to create the illusion of one whole object. The copper frame of the object represents the natural glacier clay Stephen Murray creates his pieces with. The Actual shapes of each piece within the gridded structures are organic features, imitating the imperfect shapes of Murray’s pottery.
