I have experimented using different folding techniques to create forms out of paper.

Firstly I made the basic shape my contour sire model would be. It is only of a section of my contour drawing as I wanted to show it in detail. If the contour site model had been of the whole contour drawing there would have been too many small parts.
I raised the base of the model to allow the mass and void model to look as though it was being sucked into the hole.
The mass and void is made to represent the angular spaces which were created in my wood model.
These 3 x 10 section drawings are of my paper, wood and wire models. The section cuts are at equal intervals through the model. The sections show the cut and all the remaining model left behind them.

Combining the models shows how their shadows and forms relate and can affect each other. They all relate back to the cube acetate model.
This is my favourite image of this project. I got inspiration for these models from the interior spaces of my earlier cube acetate model. I think that the models I made clearly show their relation to my contours. The models show how the interior spaces of the acetate model connect to one another and create spaces that could be occupied. I found the wooden model the most difficult to construct to represent my contours. This was because my contours were mostly curvaceous and symmetrical. To overcome this problem I used the pieces of wood to show how enclosed circles of contours connect to one another through interior spaces of the acetate model. With my paper, wood and wire models I tried to keep them all to a similar size of my acetate model to ensure they properly represented it and related back to it.
The final wire model shows the shapes of the contours and how they connect to create interior spaces. They help to show the complexity of the contours and their curvaceous nature. The different thicknesses of wire represent the different line weights from the contour drawing. The wire was easy to bend to clearly represent the contours.
The final wood model shows how enclosed contours in the acetate model can connect and create interior spaces. Since my contours are mostly curvaceous it was difficult to use straight wood to represent the contours.
My final paper model clearly relates back to my curvaceous ink blot and contour drawing. The pieces of paper show how contours can connect and create interior spaces.
These wire model trials are based off the interior spaces from the acetate model. I have used different thicknesses of wire to represent the different line weights used in my contour model. This helps to relate the model back to the drawing. The wires show how the interior spaces within the acetate model could be created.
