02.2
-
Made using electroluminescent wire (EW), flyscreen, ties and soy wax designed to a template. The wax was melted in an oven then edges smoothed off.

The aim was to create a freestanding typo sculpture using wax as main building material. The light sits under the wax surface and remains inert until switched on. It has a ghost like quality floating just under the skin.

02.1
-
Using the same process as before. This time using a version of the Starlifter font that is design specifically to be threadable as seen below.

The ideas above were based on this prototype.

I had originally intended to ‘set’ this EW logo in a soy wax block. Unfortunately that proved a bit beyond our means at that time so I moved onto smaller versions which you see above as v02’s.

The idea was to create a sign piece that would symbolically act as canary in the coal mine for the onset of global warming.

The EW was tied to a flyscreen base (very aussie), then the wax would replace plastic acting as building material and barometer - if the atmosphere is too warm; it would potentially melt and signify a warning event.

Soy wax is alsa a natural uncoloured material. The EW is very low power and thus the whole object becomes an eco statement in minature.

It was to be a freestanding wax-sign-sculpture that would sit in reception of the architectual practice as a showcase for the architects eco research: the Earc part of the identity and business was dedicated to this.

Final usage

Ultimately this was the final design Noel went with which is classic neon, but he was very intrigued and receptive to our more conceptual eco alternatives.
