Theresa Kitching
Three Dimensional Design
BA(Hons)
As a designer/maker, my visual style has been shaped by observations of natural form; focusing on detail, layering and geometry. An interest in textiles informed my progression into various material manipulation, especially when exploring tension and repetition.
Fungia Forma is a project based on the multicellular fungi that fruits mushroom forms; the pleats and honeycomb layering often occurring underneath. A focus in lighting design meant that I intuitively looked to growths which prefer darker habitats. Further research into fungal forms provided a range of textual shapes to work form and replicate.
The final forms are a result of testing and material manipulation of honeycomb, hand-glued Tyvek material, as a singular sculptural wall/floor piece, or as a lighting product.
