Model-making stage

When working on a project after drawing stage of research I'm ussualy starting to make models which are a 3d 'translation' of my drawings. This is my favourite part of  work :) I can play with different materials in order to find more inspirations. This time I was working directly from (and on ) plastic bottles. By following the shapes and already existing patterns I have created forms that hopefully will give an idea for clay work. I have started with simply cutting bottles into pieces. Then working with each part separately I was trying to find interesting form or create movement. I was very attracted to patterns on the bottle's bodies. I have used the indentations as a guideline and separated the bodies into single segments. Eventually I have ended up with many little pieces which become modules of a new form. By manipulating and repeating the same basic part I have achieved quite interesting forms.
