Wooden mechanism structure

Here is the outcome of my research into the interior of locks and the mechanisms that they are made up of. I produced various designs for the structure's surface but found this design scheme to be the most suitable and appealing. I originally wanted to paint the piece in all jigsaw pieces in blue and grey tones but found it didnt convey the message i wanted to convey which is 'worn and rusted'. I also found that the random selection of jigsaw pieces to be more appealing rather than having the whole pieces covered in them as it looked rather chaotic.

This project helped me attain greater skill in design as i have never worked with wood in this way before. I enjoyed working with wood as a medium but would like to continue experimenting with different sources such as plaster and resin.
