Dowel

My object was a weird dowel/bedpost thing from the wood shop. (16" long)

Then I replicated it a quarter of the size with plasticine. (4" long)
[This is the first prototype, the one I turned in got squished.]



Then I replicated it 20 times the size of the small copy. (80" long)

The Bicycle Tues. 2-4pm

I started by experimenting and unscrewing things here and there. The reflectors and parts of the brakes were possible to remove with my given strength (the wheels, for example, were not). I pretty much tested what I was actually capable of removing which resulted in the subtraction of the bicycle’s safety features (brakes, reflectors, chain). Adding insult to injury, I also tied the brake cables in a bow and made a bug face vomiting the brake system. It is now blue, mechanical, and UNSAFE.
