A molecular structure is composed of many cells which each have their own individual properties. These properties remain constant as the cell is allowed to grow and evolve, and in time though the unit becomes defined by a new set of terms, its most simple characteristics remain the same and can still be identified within the larger structure.
As I began to engage in this project I began to understand how a cell or unit can be manipulated and altered and still remain a stabile unit even through change.
Within the fitness routine, there is a certain pattern and structure that is very apparent. This pattern though it is technical and controlled, retains a level of fluidity that is just as pertinent.
In transforming and extruding the information from the diagrams I used to notate the movement of the body I began to experiment with curvature as a means of illustrating how technical notations can be understood as something fluid.
Keeping in mind the theory of cellular structure and the way by which it grows to become a new unit through the joining of individual cells, I began to manipulate very simple pieces found within my notations. I combined a rather intricate set of technical details that define the body’s axis with curves to define the space and the overall motion.
Essentially I combined the geometric patterns that resemble the bodies axis with the spatial qualities of curves that define the space. When they are used in conjunction, tey begin to allow a unit to grow, evolve and deviate from its original state. A landscape then begins to emerge from these moments and instances. We can then understand how molecular structures are comparable to the creation of a field condition because thought it has become a new unit its stability is a product of the cells that it originated from.

Studio Recipe’s – Fitness, Crystallography

Fitness: To understand how the motions of fitness work and operate, we have to identify their most basic elements. The body during the first state of movements is an adductor motion, flexing towards the core. Its axis is parallel to the ground level at rest and is then contracted fluidly trough constant repetition. The second and third state of movements share the same basic properties but differ in subtle controlled ways. The moments though different, are all part of the same family or language. Sets of movements define the motion that is present and therefore by its constant nature it can begin to deviate and graduate to its next stage in its development. Only through a strong and defined level of rigor in the first stages can advancement and development be achieved. As a master of forms in the first stage its second and third stages have become even stronger and have developed a tone and a rule that though changes in intensity but does not change in rigor. Deviation is not what is on display; rather it is the level of balance within the chain of movements that stabilizes the equilibrium of the exercise.

Crystallography: The theory that best explains the logic among the units that are present among the current structures can be comparable to the molecular structure of atoms.
(The different isotopes of an element are identified by writing the mass number of the atom in the upper left corner of the symbol for the element. 12C, 13C, and 14C are isotopes of carbon (Z = 6) and therefore contain six protons. If the atoms are neutral, they also must contain six electrons. The only difference between these isotopes is the number of neutrons in the nucleus.) The atoms that share protons and neutrons are remaining the same structurally and in terms of their basic components, yet its leaves its singular state to join a new collection of structures and it becomes a new member of an entire recreated cell. The new cell continues to morph and transform into new shapes yet its molecular structure is the same. Through out its lifetime it maintains its parent information but it is never the less classified as a new cell and a new formation.
