Assembly - Installation Studies
Once I assembled and painted the sculptures, I became interested in how they might interact with each other. There are two interesting options -
1. the Assembly sculptures are lined up against the wall as stoic observers while the Ranter commands their attention from a center point on the floor; or
2. the sculptures are randomly placed on the floor, as if in a town square, with the Ranter trying to gain attention; or
3. the 12 sculptures encircle the Ranter.
Assembly - Clips
Building upon the idea of interaction, I expanded the scope of Assembly by creating five short clips which use sound and mood to foster an environment
in which narrative may be implied.
