With Kobakant in Berlin; November 5 - 7, 2015

Before building the full size cocoon, we created a miniature stage on which we could work with small scale models of the final shape. Using metal wire frames, we could quickly try out various shapes, how textiles would span around these shapes, and what kind of movement the shapes would afford. Throughout the process of building the cocoon we kept the scale models close, so that we could try out different ways of fixing the shape and ways of creating the textile tube that spans around the frame of the shape.
