Man-O-War: From Solid to Thick

Exhibition at The Knowlton School, Ohio State University 

Named for the sea creature it resembles, the Man-O-War is a gallery installation meant to produce a thickened atmosphere of matter and light. Designed for a show of architectural design and research involving hirsute (hairy) morphology, the piece hovers midway between floor and ceiling like a heavy stormfront. Its global shape emerges from the accumulated material dynamics of 15,300 green, yellow, and blue monofilament lines of various weights, lengths, and curl parameters suspended from 1352 weighted points. The mass varies in opacity, color and shape as it responds to changes in the physical environment around it.
