The phrase "The silver screen" instantly transports me to the Cinema. My most vivid image is that of the the g
hostly silver/blue glow of the big screen as it casts it's shadows and flickering light across the audience as they enter the auditorium. The screen is at all times the the focus of attention and yet it is only the back drop to the real event.This is how I view my product. It offers the viewer choices, in so far as, it can be viewed in one of two ways. That is; it can be either the main event or the back drop. As a kind of art "installation" piece, which can be viewed in the round and has, I hope, an interesting dynamic from all sides. Catching and reflecting light and images in ways that recall the light from the cinema screen. It can also be used in a purely functional way as an interesting piece of furniture acting as a room divider.
The material is recycled stainless steel. It is, in fact, the tray that remains after laser cutting. The objects have been removed and the metal lattice work is left behind.
Using post industrial waste in this way adds a kind of cool urban aesthetic to the product. To hold onto the feeling of "urban cool' I had to get away from the conventional hinging together of flat room dividers so I created self supporting modules that could be clipped together to form a 3 dimensional screen.The clipping pegs (made of recycled raw plug) allow the screen to be constructed and deconstructed to any number of configurations.
It offers the user flexibility of height, width and control of the overall shape and design. This makes it suitable for many different spaces. Primarily aimed at the funky loft/warehouse-dweller. It would be a suitable accompaniment to their life style.
