Assignment 1 - Photogrammetry and 3D Printing.

Concept:
Using my leather bag as the chosen object and the UNSW Scientia’s Column (branch of knowledge) as the chosen building, I seek to convey the issue of increasing consumption of contemporary society that results in the mass depletion of natural resources. Both the material of the bag and the building can be referenced back to its original natural state; i.e. the skin of the animal and the trees in the forest. The idea of the sculpture which displays the column as piercing through the bag is an abstract representation on how the process of deforestation to make way for the built environment has impacted the natural habitats of the animals that once occupied the site.
