One of our creative works for our second semester is a tekoteko. I started a maquette way back in June for a design I had sketched up based on a tekoteko my bro had started. It was good practice and was just on a block of pine.
This semester we have a block of totara to work on (150x150x600) to create our tekoteko. I decided to create a new design for this project. Here's the project brief:
I've decided to create a contemporary tekoteko which will represent 'Rangiriri - he rākau mana. I've played around with shapes and I had a go at using polystyrene for my first maquette to get my head around the first cuts. Still not satisfied I have the design right yet, I continue to sketch ideas for the contemporary piece.
When arriving at the workshop today I looked at some of the artworks and took photos to try and give me ideas of different 3D forms. There's some beautiful pieces in our carving shed and I'm thankful to have access to them, there's nothing quite like walking around pieces rather than looking at them in a book.
