Citromaform: Forms made on a Braun Citromatic Juicer by the wrapping of string and hand bending of pipe.

In the time of Covid-19, normal ways of making are no longer feasible, because of the heavy reliance on in-person contact. By making 'out of the home' during quarentine, the materials, processes, and qualities of the forms made are the direct result of the constraint imposed by the pandemic. In this project a new way of making was derived from an electric Braun Citromatic juicer, string, and electrical pipes. These materials were readily avalible in the home, and re-enabled the act of creation when as though when it seemed like everything had been taken away.
