After much internal debate and reading through my classmates comments on my concept proposals, I’ve decided to continue with the Live, Light, Tree idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My maquette consists of a scaled down aluminum foil tree sculpture to test how it looks with EL Wire, and how the light is reflected off the shiny foil surfaces. I have never really done any physical sculpting before, let alone with aluminum foil so this was a bit of a challenge at first. After some bit of work and a lot of re-crinkling foil I started to get the hang of it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making bends with the EL wire proved to be quite difficult<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I really liked the way the light reflected and bounced between bits of foil. I took this photo on the shiny black arm rest of my chair and it gave me the idea to incorporate something for the tree to sit on that can replicate this pseudo-rainbow effect from the glossy black colored ground<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
