To Hang - Matteo R

TO HANG - Matteo Ricciardi

    With the "To Hang" prompt I am again, due to living arrangement, limited to making a lightweight hanging piece or a free standing piece. I also want this piece to be the one that uses a found object. 

Current draft:

Idea #1

    So the first idea that comes to mind for "To Hang" is to make a rack for gas masks. I collect gas mask purely for their crazy looks and meaning that is tied with it. I want to create a really industrial look. I don't want to use only metal pipes like some of my reference images. I have some parts of an old and unusable acetylene torch and welder. I also have some rubber tubing that may be fun to incorporate.

Sketch: The majority of the connections will be welded together. The found objects and rubber tubbing will be interwoven and attached to the frame.

Idea #2

    For the second idea I want to do more of simplistic rack to hold my computer and gaming head phones. The rack has to be big enough for two decently sized head phones. For the found object I want to use computer circuit boards and processers I have collected.    

Sketch: The panels and hooks will be attached to a fabricated metal frame.
