to begin this project, each student was instructed to purchase 27 2"x2"x12" douglas fir units. with these units, each student was to compose an aggregation of these 27 units, with a maximum of three unit types each of which can be composed of only 8 cuts.
in my investigation, i took interest in using a single, simple but versatile unit to develop my aggregation. after many investigations with this unit, rather than express the many ways the joint could come together, i found it interesting to stress the one thing the system could not accomplish, to turn back on itself. by utilizing only 25 units rather than the assigned 27, i emphasized the gap of the impossible enclosure that the the final 2 pieces would seem to create.
