Kind of working with everyone’s idea about figures and such, I was thinking that it would be interesting working with the idea of how Josh talked about the ‘weight’ of it all… Maybe we could use materials underneath the object that they are carrying be biodegradable. This way in the first week or days of the project the sculpture is holding strong, and maintaining to keep the heavy object up… then as rain, snow, or wind comes along the weaker pieces of the figure sculpture give out and the heavy object slowly comes down on top of the figure. The change in the art piece will get peoples attention.
I feel like we are almost making this project harder then it has to be, I know we are artists and want it to be our work and take a certain pride in it, but if you think about all the other examples given of Austin Green Art they were all these simple incredibly easy art projects that still came out impressive and got the message across.
