This is a giant installation piece which takes inspiration from the structure of spider's webs. It was created by the artist Thomas Saracen. It is an interesting interactive display, I like the fact that it is encouraging participation as this makes it more interesting for people to see and it invites them to get involved in the piece.
This is a display which has a structure like that of a web. It consists of individual strands and each piece is crucial to the structure of the web, as it adds to the strength which supports the weight of the people within it.
This is something which I find interesting and is another piece exploring the idea of scale. Although we would not be able to explore anything as extreme as this, it is useful for us to see the possibilities which can be explored from the simple idea of a web.

This is such an interesting idea- taking the simple idea of the construction and structure of a spiders web to a whole new level and scale! I think that we could be really creative and imaginative when looking at spiders webs and thinking about how we could use the idea of the structure to make some really interesting installation pieces. We should start playing around with ideas through a workshop in the studio.
