MAJOR CONCEPTS
This is our proposal for a sculpture to be constructed at the Maltby Bypass along the Princes Highway. Influenced by the effect of cuts in forms and how vision and light is passed through them, the visible silhouette of an object and moire patterns (interferences created by the effect of two overlapping patterns), our sculpture utilises these ideas in a way that makes use of the site’s location in reference to its locality, will be iconic to the Bypass and the Wyndham City Council and presents an experiential experience through its dynamic ideas.

As the viewer moves across the sculpture, the silhouette produced by the moire effect changes relative to the viewer’s speed. The spacing between the two elements is such that different views are seen by inbound and outbound traffic; that is, somebody driving into the city will have a varied view to somebody driving away from the city. Although the sculpture is inherently static, it becomes dynamic through the movement of people, and their movement produces movement within the sculpture’s silhouette. The curved nature of the structure’s form plays with the new curves produced in the roads through the bypass, resulting in the moving viewer constnatly changing distance from the sculpture, producing more change in the experience.
