hi, please note...my images are already only screen prints...and i will do some sections for my analysis...

SaM: your goal was to create a kind of 'gradient of openings' through manipulation of the wire by cutting out openings of different sizes- in addition to the existing hexagonal micro openings of the wire itself. Then you applied the plaster in layers (please add a description of the individual layer's viscosity, e.g. viscosity was nearly the same or I started with layers of low viscosity....; add an approximate number of layers, direction of application)

SaM: Your analysis of the stratification should also cover the various layers that created this expected and unexpected results (think about varying line weight for each plaster application)
then you write about the exciting effects that were created through the aggregation of the plaster around the mid-size? openings.(here you should point out which openings in the wire created this effect)
To demonstrate and examine the cause and effects of this process you are focusing from now on, and that will form the basis for the development of your project, you need a SECTIONAL analysis of the plaster model too.


SaM: Good start,
just two comments:
In your physical model several layers of - we guess - high viscous plaster created this voluptious areas and spaces we've been talking about at the last table crit. (the sectional analysis of your plaster model will help you create more intricate connections)
Within your digital model you tried - too fast - to come to an result that can be interpreted as an architectural or urbanistic situation - the layering effect that created this overhanging effects is missing.
You are right by writing that this structure is open ended, but by repeating the method you apply for your digital model endlessly you might reach a dead end.
1. Think how the method you applied horizontally might develop gradually into a vertical system.
and/or
2. add elements of disturbance or disruption to your system - we want to develop methodologies and design strategies that create behavioural elements, elements that have the capacity to create something unexpected. For example: This moments of disruption or distortion could start at a micro scale taking over or dying back/off as the method is deployed into verticality etc.etc...
