We made it downtown to the Phillips de Pury & Company Gallery to take a look at Hani Rashid’s Atmospherics exhibition.
By far the best pieces were the the chandelier, the jewelry boxes and the RP’d vases. The smaller scale pieces just seem to have been figured out a bit better than the larger scale ones.
The table is one example of what I still find lacking in a lot of the digitally designed work being produced: lack of detailing… There is no actual connection between the metal base and the glass top (other than the glass bulging – which is not a connection…). The glass wasn’t actually touching the four points it should and that’s precisely why you would need some detail. Some of the larger ‘scapes’ where also part of those that needed something, this time a connection to the floor. The way they meet the ground is at best haphazard, a profile and a welded plate very close to the lowest section of it is the way it’s resolved. I guess that’s what happens when you render in Maya’s black background…
