PROCESS
This project explores the various ways in which notched square planar elements and a stable, spine-like structure can come together to achieve a state of equilibrium. Each notched square acts as a mass, while the wood plank acts as a spine for the various assemblages. Friction and normal forces in the notch connections between the spine and wooden base prevent the aggregation from falling apart.
