| Thick PVC modules connect with cable ties |

| Cylindrical piping |

| Expanding tube, almost like a Slinky |
This week I got inducted on to the tufter machine. I like the surface it creates and could use this as inspiration for something larger scale. I have also been playing around with materials using repetition to create 3D forms. The above image uses pink thick pvc, joined together using cable ties. The sample moves fluidly almost like those toy plastic snakes made up of modules.
Cat has a slinky type tube in the studio at the moment and I love the way it expands and contracts. It inspired a cylindrical piping sample which does the same, however it is a little stiff so should need to be made of something more supple than the clear pvc I used.
In my tutorial a few people mentioned health and therapy as a potential context for my work. The movability and fun, tactile qualities lend themselves well to this so it's something I need to research further.
