Sample Relationships

The connection method became a key area of exploration, influencing RB03 and RB04.

I started noticing how gravity and drying behavior distort joints, which later pushed me toward experimenting with hollow structures (RB02).

RB01 marks the moment where the research shifts from purely shape reproduction to studying how clay behaves when engineering-like structures are manually constructed.

This was the second clay block I made that day. I made the two main parts first and then tried to connect them. From here I move on to more complex shapes. At the same time, I found that I needed to pay attention to how to maintain the shape during the drying process, taking into account gravity, and also paying attention to the curved surface not to crack.
