Old School Vaulting Horse - Bring It On Home
Sketch idea for a sculpture installation
This idea is based on my memories at school. Wearing a terrible blue gym slip with poppers on the front and the moment I realised I would not grow any more - smallest of my family -
There was a horse in the school gym which was unreachable for me (as I thought then) I then subsequently found out years later that gymnasts were small and used a vaulting spring to get over the vault!
Scale and my relationship to the physical world seems relevent to Olympic achievement - unobtained by so many.
An interactive element for this piece will include a place for viewers to write down their experiences in school or in further sport activities and their disappointments/successes. As a sculpture I want the piece to come apart to be of different scales
Materials
Polystyrene initially to allow a large scale piece. This could be then fashioned in veneered wood or resins. The figures could be projected around the piece seeming ethereal.
