Edward Fuller

Edward Fuller is a multi-disciplinary designer living in Auckland, New Zealand.
He concentrates on the design and production of objects and furniture which primarily explore the manipulation of flat surfaces and repetition of geometric shapes.

By allowing his design process to work within the laws of geometry, he has created a unique and original language of form and function which he uses as the core foundation for his design direction.

Edward has works in private, as well as public collections, and has regularly produced one-off works since the late nineties.

In 2012 he co-started Dragonbox Design Group with Kennedy Brown, which regularly participates in collaborative projects with other creatives within the New Zealand design community, and curates bi-annual exhibitions of their work with other members of the group, which has included Leon Kipa and Ron Crummer.

Statement:
hese objects are one of several landing points resulting from an ongoing exploration of diorama assemblies that started with a simple cubic box.

Apertures emerge from the recesses suggested by repeatedly pressing the eyes and bridge of a nose into a solid block.

The block is sliced into thin layers. Select layers are cut into identical shapes, then folded into cubes. Reassembly of the cubes lines up the resulting cavities along various axis. The viewer moves around the object, exploring the voids and perforations resulting from the 3 dimensional internal tessellations.

Most of the object is concealed inside the assembly. An adjustment in line of sight, combined with the presence of light and/or curiosity enables the viewer to gradually make sense of what is hidden and, perhaps, give them a better understanding of the value of that which may be hidden from view.
