Made progress with a few mysteries about 3ds Max solved. I just need to get the placement sorted and I couldn't figure out why I kept selecting my objects and discovering there were multitudes of objects (not just two) selected. I also had a conversation with Sunny that confirmed my issues with settling into the design ethic. Having spent most of my working life being concerned with the pragmatic and what will 'work' I find it hard to shift into the abstract. It requires a concerted effort for me to look beyond the literal. So each iteration becomes an exercise in resolving that conflict. Strangely that lends itself to my narrative because it feels like each of the two objects are engaged in a battle to master one another. There is an obvious a sewing theme to the story but as the shapes develop there can a several metaphors that apply to their relationship for example parent/child or dance partners.
Note: Kraftwerk an excellent soundtrack to work with.

So I went home and started from the first iteration (yep from square one) and got up four straight away...
