Rigidity in Movement (String Sculpture)
There is rigidity in how you move your body through various poses while practicing yoga. And through that strict way of moving the body, I chose my measurements. With the principle of rigidity, I chose to create a methodology for the figure to revolve around an axis to reinforce the idea of rotational movement around a point.
With the repetitive base design, and the rotational movement of it, I was inspired by the work of Étienne-Jules Marey who recorded several phases of movement on one photographic surface. The Fragmentation of the projection drawing, which I created by variation in line weights, was to emphasize specific moments in each sequence, through the passing of time.
The transition from the projection drawing the selection of ten lines that I used for the bases of my three dimensional sculpture was following the idea of my scaled projection drawing. The 10 lines chosen, if placed together create the complete cycle of the stretching body. Therefore it composes the original wire design from the first stage. It is also important to point out that these ten lines continue to revolve around a set axis, and in the three dimensional sculpture you can see this rotational movement around a point.
When translating my sculpture design back to a two dimensional drawing, my goal was to once again emphasize the fragmentation of specific movements due to line weight, but also point out way the drawing is drawn in relation to a single axis.
