What is a cube?

In this instance, it is a model that fits within the parameters of a four-inch cube.

​

As our first three studio projects at Wentworth, I constructed and documented nine cubes made out of paper, basswood, copper wire, fine metal mesh, and plaster of Paris. I constructed these models without glue and tape as a challenge. Each set of three symbolized the following properties:

​

Might Cube - Hold as much weight as possible using the least amount of material.

​

Light Cube: Interact with light and shade.

​

Flight Cube: Interact with air, perform a certain motion in flight, and represent flight.
