Designed Things

Grumpus Sculpture Overview

As part of our Large Sculpture Workshops with school, Uni and community groups, we've asked them to choose inspiration from where the Imagined Things in The Well might come from (Grumpus Land).

One of the deviations from the original plan has been that the progressed Designed Things may be a combination of 2 or more Imagined Things rather than one.

This is a working page, updates are being made as we progress, you can check back in the older versions of this page if you need to see any former notes.

Sculpture 3

Name - Glitch Forest

QUT will be working towards 1 sculpture. Inspired by Glitch and mushrooms from The Great Darkness. The sculpture will consist of a collection of pieces to form a portal into a glitch forest vibe. The Glitch forest is made up of Mycelium. Inspired by the movement of a river, the Glitch forest is to be journeyed through. Mycelium is the connector of worlds and the nearest to a glitch of the natural world. It is also the Glitch between plants and animal kingdoms. Sound, movement and lighting will also be considered o the journey through the glitch forest.

We will not be outsourcing QUT works as this is part of their assessment.
