Movement Sculpture

Artist Statement:

This is the sculpture I created to show movement. I used a half of a paper towel roll and took a knife and cut around twenty or so holes on four sides of the roll. I then pushed Q-tips into the holes. I hoped for the finished product to roll along the floor when you pushed it, but that didn't work because there wasn't enough support on the sides. I thought this would be an easy way to create motion, but it didn't work. I did realize that when you twirl it around, the Q-tips spin around, so I guess that's pretty cool. I wish I had better material around the house, but I really don't have much to choose from.
