Final Project
I am holding strong on the concept of layers for my summative assignment. I also want to incorporate movement into the piece. Maybe a mobile of sorts? I have wanted to put together a moving sculpture for a while based on the layers of trees I see out by back window. When it is windy, they move in their own layers from side to side. However, my VTS piece will incorporate figures and concepts somehow. My initial concept is metal (aluminum is what I have on hand). My question is the type of hinges to use to facilitate easy movement. The hinges would be part of the base. I want it to be able to sit on a tabletop, and be no bigger than an 11x14" frame, though it would have to be deeper. Any suggestions on hinges would be appreciated.

Your concept sounds AMAZING and I can't wait to see it! As for hinges, the only mobiles I've ever done were suspended; wire arms with loops at each end to accept suspention wires or strings. Book and box forms often have hinges; would a central structure that opens on various sides, causing the viewer to interact with it clodely be appropriate for your concept? Hmmm. I can tell just how "visual" I am when I try to imagine from someone's verbal description. Anyone else have ideas?
