Third Year Degree Project by Samuel Hadgraft

Today i was intending to carry on with the growth of the project but unfortunately that prospect had to take a back seat as everything became undone. The strings were loosening which reduced tension causing them to snap, bring parts down upon themselves and making the string wrap itself around the cogs of the main wheel. I have had to take steps in order to rectify the situation. Though this has made me reflect upon Tinguely’s “Homage to New York” as a self dustructive piece.

The use of a projector gave me an idea to project a light against my own work and see where that goes.

Visited Smiths Row to take a look at the ‘Machines To Crystallize Time’ exhibit by CJ Mahony and Georgie Grace.

The exhibition brings together their interests in contemporary states and immersive experiences which they create via built spaces through language and on screen.

A video update on the organic growth of the sculpture.

I have added further more cotton reels that are attached to paint rollers.
