Space and Layers- The Elements

Never really thought about how the elements related to my sit until I got this brief. So I started by making four collages, one for each element:

 Water

Water is the main design element for my installation. 

The flow patterns and movement of the water defines the boundaries of my site, the tidal mud flat.

Fire

I look at fire figuratively, possible as energy and exposure to the sun.  The site is very open and sunlight reflecting on the water at hightide is very pleasing.

Earth

Naturally, the site is  a deposition area for sediments and yes..........debris. The cobbles and shingles along the shoreline suggests materials for my installation alot of natural stone. also when the tide is out, lovely sinuous ripples appear  on the mud bed.

Wind

The site is open and the wind would affect the velocity of the water. the change in water level makes the site dynamic. It looks different at high tide and low tide.

 Picked up some stones on my last vist to  Greenhithe  and tried to arrange them into stepping stones for my second model idea. Not sure if it works!!!
