DESIGN NAME: Camouflage
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Incense burner suit
INSPIRATION: I was interested in animals making camouflage in nature. They hide perfectly that people or other livings could not notice them. They were acting with their gifts every moment. By changing their appearance colors and structures.My personal direction is to find out how to express their ability of reflecting environments.By analysis nature animals behaviours and movements when they make living, to start creating my collections.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: These series of collections was developed by shapes of creatures movements.By recording and summarizing those shapes and lines to build up in 3D.Then make them in a series of incense burner suit.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Incense burner suit including containers,brush and holder.Can be used with incense stick and incense cone.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in september 2016 in Birmingham and finished in May 2017 in Birmingham.It was exhibited in The school of jewellery in Birmingham in June 2017.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Fine Arts and Art Installation Design

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Photos from Aquarium, The British Museum, Nature History Museum, Nature museum in Shanghai and London.Specific in sea creature, insects, bones, appearance, skins, textures, patterns. And sketched them and recorded them.Collecting some nature background like trees and flowers as primary research. Because camouflage need to be adapted with environment.
Secondary research took from online professional photos which are about how animals camouflage in the nature vividly.
CHALLENGE: The ability to shift from 2D to 3D requires a amount of problem-solving.
