Design Title – “Speculative” a design for the future

Design description – 2 rows of 5 rectangles of very thin plywood 1 metre high x 25cm were glued together with 5cm cube spacers between them to give an upright and orderly appearance Some pieces were painted black for unity. Both square and round shapes were cut into the plywood giving interest, creating contrast, space and depth. Mandarin peelings carefully preserved were pinned on to various sized polystyrene squares with the addition of kelp for contrast and placed randomly through the design.
