Interlock

White sculpture made of interlocking wooden blocks on black background. It is semi-circular in shape. From this angle it looks roughly like the letter K.

Materials: Wood, hot glue, latex paint.

Here’s another recycled materials project. I found these wood blocks in a scrap box and got inspired by them. I wanted to make something that looked incomplete, but in an aesthetically pleasing way. The shape of an unfinished circle came to mind.

I attached the pieces together with hot glue. At first I tried to build this around a pot to get the round shape, but found this didn’t make things much easier, so I ended up piecing it together without a form.

Sculpture looks like twisting snake.

 From above it looks like a circle.

From this angle it looks sort of like the number 9.

When I ran out of blocks I stopped building.

It took longer to paint this than to build it, because there are so many corners, but painting was very straightforward because it’s all one color.

I like how this looks so different depending on the perspective. That’s why I’m including so many pictures. I could see this as part of a light fixture, a sci-fi costume, or a sculpture.
