01 DESCRIPTION

 
 

Veiled within a cantilevered entryway to the St. Louis Contemporary Art Museum, Accumulus was a site-specific installation designed to quite literally bring light to an otherwise un-programmed space. Hundreds of PETG plastic tetrahedral cubes at differing opacities were entwined through a network of interlocking wires and positioned high in the cantilever to capture the sunlight throughout the day. Repeating reflections and refractions of the light created a caustic projection that brought the space to life. The project was the result of a semester-long digital fabrication studio where students went through an intensive iterative design process, fabricated all PETG pieces on the CNC mill and wire networks by hand, and finally installed the cloud on a series of hangers.
