I came in on Tuesday to find a skip outside the mac shop so raided the jumping jacks merchandise and advertising flyers inside it. The merchandise in multiples highlighted how much of a consumer society we live in which evoked passionate anger within me. Because i have always had such a strong drive to recycle things, due to the care my parents have for the environment, i felt i should incorporate this passion into what i am doing in the studio this term ( although at first i wanted to drop the balance theme all together, but, i think maybe the 2 would compliment each other so i am going to do both).
When looking for these pictures above i also came across baby's balancing toys
This got me thinking of a pitch - make a large scale set of objects that fit together much like this that is both easy to interact with and beautiful as individual objects and as a grouped stacking type project. It would be aimed at children but it would be good to encourage adults to use it as well. it would be situated in a public space that would be open and available to the public to interact with. A problem could be that people steal the components of the sculpture.
(Another brain wave is that i have been doodling in my sketchbook of things that fit together very well and it would be easy to repeat the components of them. It would be cool to see what would come of a large scale 3d replica of one of them .... interesting to see people interact with it.)

Like this but bigger ... however they have to be kept light weight so its easy to move them but not so light that there isn't friction between blocks so therefore they just slide off, like the cardboard boxes.... (the plastic cover is good as it does give friction ... buuuuutttt ... its not recycled and i would like to keep to that theme).
