Ramsay MacFarlane : Design & Creation

Ramsay and Thomas “Wee Tam” Allan have collaborated on a video project called “A Clockwork Orange Peel”. It features a segmented orange peel that can sense when daylight is approaching.

They worked together on the video while in Thornwood, Glasgow.

The photo that inspired the video.

The sequence was captured over a period of approximately 18 hours to realistically show the variation in daylight and also display the orange peel’s dramatic shift in form.

The video was inspired by a photograph taken by Ramsay, entitled “OrangePeelSun”.

After the photo was taken, the orange peel was left to dry on the windowsill. What happened when it dried out led to a number of experiments, that eventually led to ‘A Clockwork Orange Peel’ being conceived and filmed.
