CHOSEN CONCEPTUAL DESIGN

My Chosen Conceptual Design

This is my chosen conceptual design. I chose Piccinini's artwork and the word 'collide' to describe it and use it to represent the space above ground. For Goodwin's artwork, I chose the word 'crypt' describing it and use it to represent the space below ground. I chose a modern and dynamic design for Piccinini with the two cubes colliding with each other and then a simpler concept for Goodwin with a cylindrical shape and creating a cryptic sense as it is below ground as well.
