Reflection

Material: air dry clay, foil, wire, aluminum foil, fuzzy yarn, black pen

Reflection: Some background first; This is a model of a futuro house I made. A Futuro house is a round, prefabricated house designed by Finnish architect Matti Suuronen, of which fewer than 100 were built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. The shape, reminiscent of a flying saucer, and the structure's airplane hatch entrance, has made the houses sought after by collectors.

Round things remind me of futurism. At first I wanted to create an atmosphere where some kind of ufo comes to the earth. I thought at first I wanted to make a big model of the whole thing but then I found I didn't have enough time so I focused on choosing materials to make the texture of the house. I found the air clay very tricky to shape and it changed its shape after drying. I felt like it was okay but not great. I didn’t hate the end result but I didn’t love it.
