Explosion of Crates















On my adventure through the farm I came across a small room that had an explosion of crates spilling out of it. I found it rather intriguing all the different angles that shot everywhere and how the different volumes of the boxes actually formed iregular volumes in the empty voids between each other. I like the idea of the mixture of perfect prism shaped volumes with odd angle volumes, so my goal is to capture that in the best way I can. So far I have started just by replicating the falling boxes but I need to look closer at how the boxes relate to each other and how they interact.

Alex,
I like the shadow because of its intense contrast and geometry (shape). Using perspective projection, the shadow is another way to evolve and transform your geometry. I would study the casting shadow to generate your “moment of geometry”. Then, retrace the shadow and compose 2D figure/ground and determine evolved geometry for the first moment. Thanks and great job! Ra
