In designing the tide pool, one of the features of the natural tide pools are the recessed areas which contain water. These are a variety of shapes. I thought it would be interesting to use footprints as the shapes and explore the positive and negative spaces of a composition that was already done - Nellie's Feet.
As I consider this....I think that in addition to postive/negative space, you might also consider mapping COMPRESSION in the original study and that could mean to an understanding of the tide pool as depth and space. The negative/positive space study seems 2-dimentiona, despite the layering technique...Maybe there is a another way of layering an understanding of compression here that could add greater resonance to this study? I am very happy however, that you are looking at your original studies and using them in the development of your thesis project. Good work!
ReplyDeleteLast thought....I'm also curious where you are "designing" tide pools and where the natural tide pools are. Some locational information as you continue this study will help red wmind us of where you are on your site....
