Eddy Sykes: Growing StructuresGrowth of a topographic surface pushes and folds to the tides of forces above and below.
ChersonProm Principal Eddy Sykes' Growing Structures for Materials & Applications is a site / environmental specific installation using the relationship between the natural and mechanical notions of landscape, from the simultaneous development of one informing and training the other.
The fusion of natural and man-made elements into a carefully thought out practical application allows viewers to re-evaluate advanced systems of design for a more holistic purpose.
This multi-system consists of a self-articulating, undulating landscape that utilizes hydrodynamics, motors, and growth patterns to constantly redefine a vegetative matte and its required substrate, a flexible platform system, and a fresh water reservoir.
Aided by a hingemounted motor, each octagonal palette expands and contracts much like an origami fortune teller.
The opened shape will be a beautiful three-dimensional grass floret.
