Homing In...

It is definitely time to bring all my research together and transfer it into a design idea. As I see it I can either take the route of a material led project or a mechanism led one, each producing very different outcomes. The material one would be more about experimenting with different unusual materials to suit the form or function of the trap - for example taking Crochet further or even playing around with Polyurethane to make a rubbery silk like substance that could be manipulated to resemble a web. Whereas a mechanism led project would focus more on how performing a simple act like sitting on a chair would activate a mechanism that would result in the user becoming trapped. I think that the second route would be more interesting and much more geared towards my interests when it comes to making something
