Jiwan Noah Singh
The Ark is an exploration of familiar forms and structures stripped down to their most basic elements of construction. Borrowing heavily from craft-based functional construction media, including classical boatbuilding and shelter building, the series creates abstract, curved shapes from rigid materials. This metamorphosis is achieved by shunning typical techniques for bending and shaping raw materials and instead relying on optical illusion and mathematical theory, such as three-dimensional graphing and the use of hyperbolic planes. The Ark evokes the form’s functionality without being functional itself; it utilizes the materials but deprives them of the craft that transforms them into an impenetrable barrier.
