Today, a new idea was made! We thought it would be fun to for the hands to do more than just painting. Using sand was something that we came up with, since they can be erased and created again, in many different ways. Rather than having the hands act as a brush, we made it act as a rake. By doing this, it can still create the circle shapes that we wanted to make. I think this is also cooler since, it looks more clean. It also reminds me of those Japanese-style zen stone gardens.
In order to give this piece a more calming energy to it, we need to think of ways to make this “machine ” appear as delicate as possible. So we have to think of ways to stick the leaves onto the hands in the most subtle and seamless way.
