Flour Towers






After working with the pillars of fishing line, I realised that i wanted to construct pillars out of a material who's life extended beyond the making process. The wire in the previous pillars was far removed from its natural inclination, it became taught and was not able to change from its position. I began to look at flour as a possible material, i love the impermanence of its material quality, how when compressed it becomes so strong yet its so on the edge of becoming powder again. These pictures are maquettes of my model they are about a fifth of the desired size (2.44m) but give a good idea of how realistic the end product is.
