Preview of the Ceramics as Installation Project

Hey class,

The next (and final) project will be a ceramics installation project where you will be creating multiple units to place together (hanging) to create a complete installation.  This project is open ended, I would like you to come up with a proposal and lots of sketches or maquettes before beginning the final version.  The project can hang from cord, wire, fishing line, or from nails on the wall.  Here are a couple of images for ideas.

You might think of this project as a move from the traditional to the contemporary; a chance to show the versatility of the ceramic medium and how it can display weight in many different ways.

Note: all of the artists below are using ceramic except Paul Villinski but his work could easily be inspired to produce something similar in clay.
