Originally, my plan was to simply reproduce this form in silver, but it seemed far too static for a sport which relies on kinetics. This is what prompted a more process-based piece which required a "crashing" event. ]]> 2023-02-24 12:53:28 UTC https://padlet.com/qerickson11/8ohlfix35un6azu8/wish/2493830466 qerickson11 https://padlet.com/qerickson11/8ohlfix35un6azu8/wish/2493830597 In order to "crash" the chassis, I flattened the piece in a vice and broke various joins at random. It allowed the piece to skew sideways and therefor offer a more interesting view from the front as well as the sides. I wanted the corse reference of the car to remain, but introduce a level of abstraction which occurs after a racing crash. ]]> 2023-02-24 12:53:37 UTC https://padlet.com/qerickson11/8ohlfix35un6azu8/wish/2493830597 qerickson11 https://padlet.com/qerickson11/8ohlfix35un6azu8/wish/2493830920 2023-02-24 12:53:55 UTC https://padlet.com/qerickson11/8ohlfix35un6azu8/wish/2493830920 qerickson11 https://padlet.com/qerickson11/8ohlfix35un6azu8/wish/2513135212 2023-03-12 12:27:35 UTC https://padlet.com/qerickson11/8ohlfix35un6azu8/wish/2513135212 qerickson11 https://padlet.com/qerickson11/8ohlfix35un6azu8/wish/2513135553 2023-03-12 12:28:05 UTC https://padlet.com/qerickson11/8ohlfix35un6azu8/wish/2513135553 qerickson11 https://padlet.com/qerickson11/8ohlfix35un6azu8/wish/2513144543 2023-03-12 12:45:36 UTC https://padlet.com/qerickson11/8ohlfix35un6azu8/wish/2513144543 qerickson11 https://padlet.com/qerickson11/8ohlfix35un6azu8/wish/2513144764 Designing the brooch back proved to be the most difficult part of the design process and it is not yet resolved.]]> 2023-03-12 12:46:04 UTC https://padlet.com/qerickson11/8ohlfix35un6azu8/wish/2513144764 qerickson11 https://padlet.com/qerickson11/8ohlfix35un6azu8/wish/2513153376 2023-03-12 12:59:43 UTC https://padlet.com/qerickson11/8ohlfix35un6azu8/wish/2513153376 qerickson11 https://padlet.com/qerickson11/8ohlfix35un6azu8/wish/2513189107 2023-03-12 14:03:54 UTC https://padlet.com/qerickson11/8ohlfix35un6azu8/wish/2513189107 qerickson11 https://padlet.com/qerickson11/8ohlfix35un6azu8/wish/2515111671 2023-03-13 22:34:03 UTC https://padlet.com/qerickson11/8ohlfix35un6azu8/wish/2515111671 qerickson11 https://padlet.com/qerickson11/8ohlfix35un6azu8/wish/2515117551 Screenshot from comment section- a "True testament to the engineering and craftsmanship of those chassis." 
Alongside the desire to see life threatening crashes is an appreciation for the technology which enables such a thrill. The race car chassis is a true feat of design- one which garners reinterpretation through fine craftsmanship in gold. ]]> 2023-03-13 22:40:49 UTC https://padlet.com/qerickson11/8ohlfix35un6azu8/wish/2515117551 qerickson11 https://padlet.com/qerickson11/8ohlfix35un6azu8/wish/2515126919 2023-03-13 22:56:35 UTC https://padlet.com/qerickson11/8ohlfix35un6azu8/wish/2515126919 qerickson11 https://padlet.com/qerickson11/8ohlfix35un6azu8/wish/2515127372 2023-03-13 22:57:23 UTC https://padlet.com/qerickson11/8ohlfix35un6azu8/wish/2515127372 qerickson11 https://padlet.com/qerickson11/8ohlfix35un6azu8/wish/2515129412 I removed the brooch back above as it was unnecessarily complicating the composition.
