The FRAME was developed with the intention that all geometrical aspects of the final product would reference back to two splines--the CONTROL GEOMETRY. A “power copy” was set upon the intial frame, and when combined these elements provide a mechanism for the articulation and manipulation of the foundational grid.
The “pocket” and “fin” surface elements were applied to the frame as “power copies”. Though sharing the same genetic information, each element adjusts in relation to its position within the whole. Modest controllability was introduced by referencing aspects of the surface
elements to numeric parameters.
 
Following the development of the initial product, effort was made to expand the project a layer beyond what had been planned. The initial parts were remodeled as
surfaces (rather than solids) and what was once the end product became a mere part in the service of a more advanced goal. The resulting AFFINITY FRAME references the geometry of the initial product and attempts to give order to the original manipulations of the
CONTROL GEOMETRY.
