Symbol of stillness - Stuart Lawson

The image above - Symbol of stillness - is a still from a small concept animation of one of the items a participant might have seen emerging from the depths of the table as they spun its surface and traversed its perimeter. I say ‘might have seen’, because it doesn’t really fit in with the existing imagery in that part of the work. With a bit of tweaking and finessing, this abstract image (along with some other concepts not yet posted), may appear in the final act/section of the work - which is ultimately better suited to host this type of visual treatment.

Where we are so far…

There are 5 areas around the table in which interaction can take place. The floor pads that react to movement and the specially engineered spinning table-top have been up and running for the past few months - which has allowed us to test and experiment with the imagery, sound and interaction progressively as we experience the work in a way that a participant might.

'Pig Angel'- digital painting

The forlorn looking figure, otherwise affectionately known as ‘Pig Angel’, in this image was a concept design and exercise in digital painting techniques using a Wacom tablet.

Someone asked me if it is an angel or a demon; perhaps the answer to that question is: do you eat pork?
