Project 4 - Tea-light Transformations.

The initial layout of my transformed tea-lights. The oval layout is meant to lead the eye from one transformation to the next and reference the round shape of the object.

The revised layout of the tea-lights is in a grouped formation which was chosen in response to the way each tea-light was transformed. 

The first pair (top left corner) are the addition and subtraction transformations which are simple transformations and opposite to each other. 

The second pair (top right corner) are the symmetry and asymmetry transformations which are also opposite to each other and slightly more complex. 

The final three tea-lights represent fragmentation, abstraction and distortion. These are much more complex ideas/theories and in my opinion get more subjective from left to right (hence why they were ordered as so).

This photograph shows which tea-lights represent which transformations:

• The subtractive has had its outer metal casing removed.
• The additive has had its wick lit, adding a flame. 
• The symmetrical is half a tea-light reflected along the dotted line.
• The asymmetrical is cut unequally and positioned asymmetrically.
• The distortion is a crumpled metal casing covering the candle meant to confuse the viewer as to what the item is.
• The abstraction is the candle taken apart to its bare components, abstracting the fundamental aspects of the tea-light.
• The fragmentation is the tea-light cut into fragmented sections.
