Lauren Barbieri:Week 5: Prosthetic sketch





Concept
I wanted to work primarily with an abstracted shape and create something that would Have a really nice silhouette from all angles. And after a little playing around I settled on waves of water. washing around the leg.
 There are a lot of holes in this object and I will want to remember this is hypothetically something someone would wear so It will be part of the challenge to make the curvature of the leg in such a way that it is at least a little practical, that it won't catch on objects too easily. Depending on how durable the cover has to be a panel of see-through plastic could be added over the holes. The Prosthetic cover would attach by unscrewing the ankle joint and sliding it up over the pipe. the thickness will increase near the bottom and top.

Modelling
Im envisioning most of the modeling I will be doing as subtractive. Possibly also working off of projected and extruded curves to create the see through sections

Materials
I imagine a hard rubber plastic with mixed blue/sea-green and lightening at the edges. Slightly see-through and reflective.
