I have chosen to explore this topic because this history of sculpture greatly interests me, the evolution of different media used and the concepts behind. I feel the works of artists, such as Theo Jansen and their concepts are similar in relation to my own. I enjoy the use of materials and contemporary means of creating sculpture with the inclusion of kinetics.

Theo Jansen’s Sculpture is very similar visually to my own work. He uses Kinetics and simple materials to create something that comes together and moves elegantly.
