NATHAN COPPEDGE--Perpetual Motion Concepts
ART: THE GROUND FOR PERPETUAL IDEA
|
Simple symbols
may serve to
encourage an
implementation-
based strategy
Molds or platforms are a key
strategy in determining form
as something both maleable
and fixate: these metal bar
forms are examples of
fashioned metal akin to the
beginning of a machine
The ground is artistic and
structural, formulative
and implementational,
real and desired
Angles on a grid are
supplementive of levers
and weight-height variance
Hinge by comparison to
laterality allows some
variance in lever properties
based upon height variance
and minor articulation
(similar to the latch-handle
and lockbar depicted here)
Concepts may be conceived
as pieces of iron
Elements evoke new shapes not
taken in form; brace element has a
puzzeline quality; bolt element
suggests lateral torque; crankshaft
may be a 90-degree inducer
Elbow rails show a isometric
paradigm; the shadow of a safety
seat is amorphous and windy
