Project #3 Object in Motion, Object Transformed

Focus on OBJECT ITSELF.Don’t get distracted by additional information & forms.

Stretch, pull, rotate, re-orient, spin, tip, heat . . . . . .Do what you can to animate your MUNDANE, SIMPLE OBJECT to provoke it into motion. Don’t rely on other objects to make this happen, to do the work for you.Instead, play with mark-making, repetition / pattern & rhythm to create implied motion & evolution.
