TIME MACHINE PROJECT
8 week project
This was another First Year Project completed at the University of Hertfordshire. The brief was to make a 'Time Machine', inspired by a chosen Historical Era. Interested by the Scientific Revolution, this 16th Century, neo-classical styled orrery was originally inspired by scientific artefacts of the period, including telescopes and the Grand Orrery (1733) that I saw at the London Science Museum. The wooden base was inspired by furniture designs, such as the like of Thomas Chippendale, with the idea that the front panels open to reveal the 'time machine' element coming from the popularity of ornate cabinets. Influence for the low relief is based of various decorative Georgian ceilings of Stately Homes.
