Image & Form Competition 2010

The subject of the competition

“Interplay of Volume and Space”

Your main task is to follow the games of volume with ambient space. Dialogue with space emerges at any disconnected form decision. Often contemporary works of art represent three-dimensional structures filled with air. You can get inspired in your constructions with nature, architecture, fashion… You can use combinations of various materials such as metal, plastics, fabric, cardboard, etc., creating your own fantasy spaces, playing over there with ideas, volumes and materials.
