Rules of Play was a sculptural installation commissioned for V&A Dundee.
The project explored how limitations can support creativity, using a modular system of 200 identical wooden planks as oversized building blocks. These units were arranged into abstract furniture forms for sleeping, eating, working and playing, riffing on histories of experimental furniture and learning through play.
The work grew from my print practice: repetition, colour, proportion and composition, but pushed into three dimensions. Rather than being fixed, the structures were designed to remain open to reconfiguration, allowing the same units to become furniture, sculpture, workshop tools or something else entirely.
