Timepeices-Idea #1

The Timepiece assignment here and below, has really helped me to clarify exactly what my concept is for my entire space. As you review these time piece Ideas think of how a locomotive affects the surroundings in which it travels through, the rustle of leaves, Shaking of buildings( I live beside the Railroad track ), the flicker of interior lights and the sound of that train whistle clearing its path. These affects are the source of my inspiration for my time pieces as well as my concept. The above time piece is a light grid that at the top of every hour provides a light show for your shopping pleasure.

Idea #2

This musical peice consisting of Organ pipes cloaked in a white coat of walls, acts as a time peice as it signifies the top and bottom and bottom of every hour with a very specific tune for each hour. The organ pipe is at a low pitch to provide a quaint melody to shop to as well as keep track of your time. The Pipe organ is remincent of the whistle of the locomotive, but decorative accents add a hint of color to the very basic color scheme of the retail space.

Idea #3

My third Idea this very interesting idea of interlocking Circles, they visual along with the moth of the clock hands show the idea of motion.the clock is a fair size, at 2 feet in height and 2 and 1/2 ft wide.

Locomotion

Instamatic Schematic....a materials exploration

Given a product and a concept we have to develop a materials presentation. My Concept is Locomotion and my product is Coats Ties and Scarves. At first my instinct went to programing of the space and I lost focus of materials. So after being pulled back from LaLa land I went back to thinking about my concept more. Wanting to steer clear of " Train" like images I focused on what locomotion meant and its origin. It is derived from Locus( Latin) meaning place, center , or source, and motion meaning; change in physical position or place. Then I went on a search for imagery that read in this manner to see what I could find.Above are a few images that I found that I am thinking of pulling my color pallet from.
