An exploration into creating an ultra-efficient fabrication process for sculptural surfaces. Mass Migration is a zero waste procedure beginning with the hotwire cutting of EPS foam into molds. Serving as mold, structure and insulation, the cut foam panels are then wrapped by fiber-reinforced polymer [FRP] in a process reminiscent of surfboard construction. This approach is a more sustainable method that simply redistributes material over the surface resulting in apertures, projections and ornamental reliefs that hold the potential for integral shading and light reflection.
In collaboration with Jeff Ponitz [Vert Studios] and Lizzy Miller.
