reserch

for my final project i am inspired by Carole Itter and her piano hanging piece. i was thinking of some how getting a gient tire that could hang and turn like the erath. in the middle of the tire i would divide it into different sections to show the impact of human pollution on earth. this would theoretically be a 3d installation and be made with as much reused matterals as i can find. The world would  show the foot print of how we use and destroy our world. the tire would be like an imprint of what we are doing ourselfs. Also as i was resrching i found another artist that i like named Holly A Senn
