Crafting Harmony: The Intriguing Relationship between Plaster Forms and Scaffold

The relationship between the plaster forms and the scaffold is multifaceted, extending beyond mere support. The spaces between each scaffold are thoughtfully designed, meticulously studied, and precisely calculated to ensure a perfect balance of form and function. The positioning of the plaster forms on the scaffold is a deliberate and intentional process that considers the relationship between the solids and voids of each piece. The interplay of these elements is the guiding principle behind the arrangement of the plaster forms, with the aim of creating a harmonious balance that results in visually compelling spatial configurations. The final arrangement gives rise to intriguing spatial voids that are formed between the individual plaster forms, creating a fascinating interplay of form, function, and aesthetics.
