KITE GALLERY
OPTICA
Optica,
designed in 2007, stands 2.8 metres high. Constructed from carbon fibre and
ripstop nylon. The kite took its form from two overlapping squares which were
distorted. The design uses negative and positive graphics to change
the perception of the surface of the kite. A six metre banner tail extends
the theme and the addition of a long tube tail creates a stong visual impression
in the sky.
I constructed a smaller optica kite in 2012, shown lower left.
