Update Source Statement

Another week has past us by and my project has not changed much. Because my form will be planes intersecting, and progressively erecting to and upright-standing sculpture, it may appear to be simple in its abstracted sequence from base to top. It's simplicity is meant to not distract from its overall goal, which is to have the following elements:

Flat, steps, adjacent slabs, squares, triangles, circles, color - all together gaining mass as I add elements to shape the sculptural piece. The steps represent hierarchy; this specific element I feel represents the different steps children take in their own walk through ambient noise - the further up they travel, the more noise, hence the gaining of mass in elements.

The upright slabs represent the different spaces they transition through (imagine doorways leading to a different type of exposure); a gaining of mass will be present to indicate this specific thought.

The open physical form altogether represents how noise infiltrates regardless of the when, where, why, and how the ambient noise is created; my specific goal here is to show that it does not matter how you want to address the noise, but that noise captures your attention - creating distractions everywhere you go.

The geometric shapes will represent the detail in my sequence that in essence are the tools instructors provide the kids to move forward in dealing with the ambience. As the tools become a greater mass, that will be representative in the complexity and preparedness in which kids are equipped with to deal with ambient noise.

Primary colors will be applied to the tools uniformly so as not confuse the different geometry and to support the simplicity of this built form.
