Design Project 1 - Final

For our final concept we decided to go with the idea of light-hearted-ness, which represented playfulness, purity and happiness. We took this concept further to the meaning of inner-child. The middle of the sculpture is open and light is streaming out as if the sculpture was tearing at the seams where the inner-child is trying to break through. The inspiration for the aesthetic we were going for in the wood was brought from Henry Moore in one of his London exhibitions.

Our sculpture would be hung on a branch to represent playfulness. We were also worried that the shape of the sculpture would appear morbid and dead, so wcidede de to add a smile onto the face instead of leaving it completely blank. The sculpture is minimalist and has not much detail so as not to detract from the meaning. We thought perhaps the sculpture would rock back and forth a bit on the branch, but were unsure if this was safe.
