‘Brainwave’, centrifugally cast forms

Abstract

Based on the conceptual intentions of previous work to capture the phenomenon of growth and decay in underwater environments. In this series Garfoot extended his investigation into the relationship of technical process and artistic expression through a specific focus on the use of one-off resin-sand moulds and the centrifuge to capture images and perceptions of coral formations and accretions. The process in this project was focused upon the manufacture and testing of single trip moulds; with detail inclusions of small glass elements to extend the use of the centrifuge. The intention being to create a diversity of texture and glass quality in the resulting form.
