This work is a Chest Mimic and my Module 2 resolved work.
A Mimic is a fantasy creature previlent in games and media commonly charecterised as a chest. The Mimic is an ambush predator that takes the shape of inanimate objects to catch prey, i created a physical representation of a concepts ive only seen in media. I wanted this work to be an interactive installation but the nature of the work proved delicate. This work utilises simple mechanics inspired by the work of Cassey Curran built into a metal armature. Conceptually the work represents hidden danger and intent as well as the nature of curiosity.
