Freq's of nature - "From massive organic mechanic installations, thought through warm light shows, over artistic carpentry to peculiar land art details our decoration concept is following a unique festival direction"
​
A crew of eighteen artist's working for a month on different aspects of the Forest floor stage. Here i show two albums of solo design work, one collaboration and the completed stage with all the crew's imaginations brought together with the Organic mechanic brief to create a fantasy environment.
​
​
i made propeller's ,ranging from 500mm span's to 2 meter using traditional green woodwork technique's , cleaving and using a draw knife to make planks, steam bending to twist the wood and lathe work for the center sections creating a slightly steam punk style. I shaped the blades as leaf's, grass or feathers
4 meter - 5 meter rope bridges to fill areal space and create shade.
i used different interlinking patterns to crate interesting shadows and decor
leaf stair way's
moving mutant leg collaboration.
