Artist Statement
The Theme Park Sculpture was inspired by Rachel's research about amusement parks in her Theme Park PowerPoint Presentation. I was interested in creating an artwork that reflects the complex design and intentional layout of theme parks which controls and directs the movement of people walking through the parks. I conveyed the fluidity of motion with string, repetition of shapes and patterns, depictions of water, and the general circular shape of everything (ex. the Ferris-wheel). I was also inspired by birds-eye-view photographs of theme parks, and how everything on the ground seems connected when you are looking at it from above.

Research #1
"Wayfinding is another crucial element in amusement park design. Interior designers and architects work together to create paths that lead individuals through the park to each desired location. The use of bold graphics, light, color, signs and unobstructed walkways are just a few design strategies that assist someone in knowing where they are in the park and directing them to the next part of the adventure."
