Unity in Foamcore

Project 3

At first, I thought this project would be an easy one. After I started working with the foamcore, I realized it was not going to be simple. Before I could start cutting out my shapes, I had to play with the foamcore some with different ways to cut it and also learn how the inside foam melts from the glue.

 

I wanted to create curved, triangular shapes connecting them at different angles and points. Each shape started as a triangle with 4 inch sides, then I drew curves to each point from another point.

 

Foamcore was certainly not as forgiving as other materials we have used, like wire and tape. I had to replace a few shapes because of a cut or bend that I could not hide.
