Jess's model idea

In relation to Jess's post about her mobile idea, I like where it is going and you seem to have a clear idea upon where you want to take this. I agree with what Amandeep suggests about what to take from the piece and after giving it some thought I came up with a theory of my own.

Judging from that image that you have posted up on your blog, I have taken it to be illustrating mobility, chronologically, in terms of physical movement globally. Starting at the smaller scaled end of the sculpture which represents human mobility in say, the early few centuries of our existence and as the sculpture changes in scale it shows a timeline of how humanity has covered large distances over the globe until you reach the present day. This is at the very largest end of the sculpture which shows a large amount of movement as a result of the motor car, plane and modern ships. The arm then going off to the right with the yellow tip (which may be the support by which the model is hung) then represents looking into our future, and the unknown.

In terms of my own individual work, I have come to no conclusion as of yet. I intend to focus on gaining some inspiration in the next few days.
