In the 1930s, the Russian constructivist came across models that mathematicians had built from wire, wood and fabric threads in the 19th century. They were used to visualize geometric formulas and thus a hypothetical space in the real world. Gabo created works of art in which he worked in a similar way. He wound spin two nylon threads around acrylic glass plates, an exploration of space with the means of art. The British sculptor Henry Moore commented on Gabo's artworks in 1983: "His structure always became space itself."

I began to make this sculpture with acetate. My first focus was just to make and as I progressed I realised I needed to make a base. Working with mono material of acetate strips and staples. I constructed the base with some difficulty.After making the base I looked at the object in relation to the space around it and looked at the space in between the circles/swirls.

I realised that if I added more I I would loos the space and the simplicity.of the sculpture

Researching

Ann Weber making a sculpture.

I decided to use her technique of using tabs at the sides to make the sculpture more stable

My intrest in constructivism and kinetic art was initially visual as I developed my ideas more and began to understand the political pull of the Russian Empire.

"Art should directly reflect the modern industrial world."
