Figuring Out Measurements

Following from my last post (https://www.laurensimons.art/post/pillar-plans), I thought about the square widths of the proposed pillars and knew that I wanted to keep them somewhat narrow.


Having them narrow should help make them appear visually taller than they are, but I also believe that having them narrower would present the idea of a person standing? Maybe? Hopefully?


Again making this decision to have them narrower is a conscious decision to go easy on my body as I want to limit any risk of another flare up, but in saying that I also feel like it fits into my contextual research of portaiture/figures, facial blindness, ways of seeing, neurodivergent ways of seeing, embodied perspective, etc...


Due to wanting to make the freestanding structures narrower, I then need to be aware of the heights of them as if I make them too tall then I risk the chance of them toppling over. When thinking about this, I also took into consideration a previous thought of being able to peer inside the structure. Varying heights should help combat the limitation of height?

Again thinking about the last critique and the comments about how the drawings looked like they were moving and had fluidity to them, could I introduce fabric to my work as a surface to draw on? Canva

Combine the freestanding structure of the wooden plinths with the canvas drop cloth?

I will have to reuse/rework previous work. At least use the materials from them, get them primed as a new working surface.
