Circles into Space

This study I did last week has a constructivist feel to it and prompted others
to make a connection with Calder and his mobiles. So now I am looking at the
work of Calder and considering how to take my circle shapes into space.



Alexander Calder explored movement, motion and colour by creating mobile sculptures that symbolised the universal movement of the solar system. His works are kinetic and dynamic. He experimented with different but very ordinary materials.

Two of Calder's maquettes really appealed to me:
Sail and Peaks 1956
The Nose 1968

I am trying to apply Calder's techniques to my circle shapes develop my
circle ideas......

moving into 3D creates new shapes
