creative endeavors.

for this project we had to create a freestanding structure with no adhesive, inspired by a natural object, with individual units that could hold an egg.

I chose an okra for my natural object.

and here is the structure before the eggs, assembled using different methods of slitting and slotting.

this is the finished piece with eggs. (which I spray painted to look more earthy and interesting). it's supposed to have a radial feel similar to the cross-section of the okra.
