Bruno Munari: Air Made Visible

During one of the sessions I was introduced to Bruno Munari's work, in particular a section from his book 'Air Made Visible'. It was intriguing how he studied the aesthetic and scientific make up of an oak leaf and visually created a number of different possibilities. 

I traced over a copy of an oak leaf paying particular attention to which ever relationship I was concentrating on, the eternal points of the leaf, joining up the inner and outer points of the leaf and drawing from the stem to each external point. It created a number of different structures and patterns which were never ending. It interested me as I was able to explore a variety of different structures that initially you wouldn't have even thought about. It was taught me to look further into the usual everyday objects as something pretty interesting could come out of it.
