  The grid was a great idea and i am so glad i stuck with it. It's uniform nature is stunning to look at it. it is a scale that is so vast you don't know where to look. Its inescapable and impressive if i say so myself. 
However i didn't just jump straight to the grid. Several ideas were scrapped or developed in the early stages. Nails brushed under a rug was an idea at one point. The Cliche of a coffin filled with nails (awful i know), even an upturned chair with the nails hammered in underneath it. 

This curious creature is one of those tests. It is possible that this is the next step along this evolutionary tree of mine from nails to nails. This is the latter. Its funny how nails and a glue gun molded base can form such an organic object. I had thought of it as 'the nails deforming the glue'. During my tutor time, another spin was placed on it. That the objects are without form until they are put together. this isn't deformation. It its formation. It is creation. 

It offers up the prospect that there may well be progression for what i have started in first term. I cant wait to get started.
