After testing the miniature sculptures I decided to put the methods to the test on the larger sculptures - the first one being falling/jumping in front of a moving object. I acquired the services of one of my fellow uni pals and using her car, run over my smallest rose sculpture. The pictures above are snapshots from a video of the event that I recorded as it happened. You may be thinking, how did it feel to ruin your work, but I don't see it like that, I feel that I'm getting an important message out there that death occurs all the time in the nastiest circumstances but we have to deal with and accept it, and to be honest it was oddly satisfying! I am pleased with how it turned out but I feel the tyre mark needs to be more prominent so may have to go over it in black paint.
