Artist Research

Hey guys this was one of the artists I found at the Tate in London. His name was Do Ho Suh. He's done a lot to do with space and place concepts as he is an installation artist. He took measurements from places he's lived in i.e stairs, rooms, fixtures and fittings and tried to recreate exact replicas with that idea of a portable home, so the pieces he makes are foldable and transportable so he can carry them around with him to install in different exhibits. I was really interested in the way he has attached it all together so I've tried to look into how and what it's made up of and it looks as though he's used little metal poppers to secure all the bits of material in place (amongst other things I'm sure). Thought it could maybe give us some material and scale ideas too?
