Bones

This was a project about articulation. I looked at the hip and leg bone and joint. I studied how the 2 bones met and the movement of the joint in the socket. This started by various sketches to get an understanding of the forms, then some realistic foam models. From this i began to abstract and made wire frames and card outline models. I had notice the way the top and bottom of the hip crossed in an X shape from the top, but also had a twist through the axis. I played around with it for a while before simplifying it all into 1 piece, with the leg bone moving in a track of the basic movements, and simplifying the twist in the hip to exaggerate it.
