Formless forms are studies of creating changing shapes with fabric and turning static 2D forms into visually appealing dynamic ones.
 
The final installation uses magnetic fields to move the fabric. The pushing force between the magnets on the fabric and the disk under it creates a tension in the fabric when the disk starts turning.
 
Final product ideas can vary from original artwork, dynamic installation to a simple source of inspiration for form explorations.
Here is a working prototype of the project:
shadow and light creating stimulating 3d landscapes
snapshots of unexpected and sudden movements of the fabric 
making process of the machine
