Artist Research
For my research and inspiration, I looked at work from Felicity Hammond– an emerging artist who works across photography and installation. Fascinated by political contradictions within the urban landscape her work explores construction sites and obsolete built environments. Her sculptures are abstract in the way that they are all small parts of a larger sculpture that constructs a landscape.
First Model Idea
My first idea is to use these 4 photos from the My Rock project, and stack them similar to an ascending spiral staircase.
Experimenting
After printing the photos and attempting to stack them I realized it would be difficult to get them to stand straight without drooping so I experimented with another layout similar to a directions post which came out better than my first idea.
Final Version
For my final version, I will be more precisely measuring the slits on the photos, as well as on the base to make sure the model stands sturdy and straight. I will also be using toothpicks to create a sort of spine for support.
Wind Chime Idea
My second idea was to wrap two photos around a cylinder creating a mirrored effect, and then hand 3/4 of different sizes at different heights to create a sort of wind chime.
