An early investigation into material, structure and wearable objects
Timby began as an experiment in translating architectural model-making into objects for the body.

Working initially with balsa wood, the project explored how simple forms could be assembled, layered and tested as wearable objects. Early prototypes were worn and tested through everyday use, allowing questions of strength, movement, scale and durability to directly influence the development of the work.

The project eventually evolved towards metal, introducing a new relationship between organic material qualities and structural permanence.
