Originally created for the 2020 Vivid Sydney festival, Patterns of Nature is a set of four pieces designed and built by groups of students (14 in total) from the UTS Product Design program.

After Covid put paid to the 2020 festival – and again in 2021 – these pieces have found a home on campus in the UTS Central and Tower building foyers during the 2022 Vivid festival.

Patterns in Nature centres around the elements of fire, air, water and earth. You can see how these striking pieces were conceived and constructed in this short video below.

Descriptive transcript

Product Design students were tasked to work in teams, creating a sculpture relating to the classical four elements: fire, water, earth and air. The open brief began with research, creative design conceptualisation, prototyping, problem solving and digital CAD modelling. Students’ hands-on material use ranged from metal work, timber and plastic fabrication, as well as electronics and programming. Students were tutored by exhibiting artists of Vivid Sydney. The final works made their debut during Vivid Sydney 2022.
