First I made a small scale paper model of the structure and then I scaled up.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/dt>\n
Then I cut pieces of paper to the size of the the measurements made so that I could wrap the fabric I was stitching around it\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/dt>\n
There were 6 pentagons and 10 filler equilateral triangles needed to create the shape so I layed out the pentagons and stitched them together first.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a> Once there was enough put together I pinned the corners of the out ring of points on the dome and tied string to secure it to the ceiling.<\/p><\/div>\n

So my goals for this piece were to create a sort of geometric shell enclosure and to somehow incorporate the comfort in heat (hence the placement near the fireplace). I wanted it to be a strange extension to a practice I associate with companionship, cuddling by a fire. The shell is sort of a way of protecting and isolating its inhabitants. From the outside it also looks like a strange \u00a0geometric creature sitting by the fire. The process proved to be extremely time consuming but I’m happy that it turned out dome\/shell like.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
