Dynamic Conceal/Reveal
The idea of Concealment and Revealing, dictated by movement and temporary moments.
These temporary moments are the layering of people and objects in a space.
The expansion of space between objects allows for movement, creating opportunistic reveals of a subject.
Inverse of that, the contraction of space in between objects restricts opportunities and movement, concealing a subject.
When people and objects move and the observer stays still, the control of who and what gets revealed is taken out of the hands of the observer.
However, when the observer moves, they are given control of what they want to be concealed and what is to be revealed.
Either one is always moving, and that creates a dynamic medium to represent concealment and revealing.

STORYBOARD
Several moments extracted from my journey.
Walking from Leeds Street through to Eva Street. Walking to Courtney Place and finishing around Manners Street and Willis Street, Wellington.
Waiting at pedestrian lights and weaving in and out between people during the whole walk.

HAND-CRAFTED MODEL
Thinking along the lines of "Expanded and Contracting" moments in a space that highlights the ideas of Conceal/Reveal.
Also, the multitude of layering of people and signs that is seen on a busy city footpath.

DIGITAL LINE COMPOSITION
Compositions showing more of the details of my routed model, which stems from its design from the hand-crafted model.
I aim to represent the idea of Conceal/Reveal through incorporating multiple different layers and different states of movement in a static model.

CNC ROUTED MODEL
There are many different moments that I have tried to represent in this model, re-focusing the idea of Concealment and Revealing.

SCALE RENDERS
Placing the digital model into sites in the city at 3 different scales; Macro, Human and Micro.
This is to show different perspectives, inhabitations and experiences through my model - still referencing the Conceal/Reveal theme.

Further development of the design aims to integrate with the existing cityscape with all 3 different scales living together.
