trial screen forms

for the first attempt, I tried to build a sculptural screen with rattan,

to make the rattan straight, I soaked them in the water for about 30 min.

and dried and straightened them by applying tension.

tried to tie the rattan together with strings, crazy glue, hot glue..

and wire.

And this is how it looked.

I still like the organic form and structure, however with the time available for the first installation, it seemed like lots of labor…
