ARTWORK PROGRESS: Positioning of the figure

The goal for the positioning of the form was to give a sense of literal weight and a sense of personal struggle.
For the sense of personal struggle I chose to position the form in a sitting position. On the cusp between defeat and triump. The form could stand OR fall.

ABOVE: the final chosen position

ABOVE: due to the articulated nature of the form the body could be positioned into naturalistic positions and be self supported. These are two experiments with posturing

ABOVE: to position the form, the suitcase was used as a support unit it was balanced enough to take its own weight.
