I began thinking about the graphics that cartoonists use to show motion: zip lines and a partial cloud left behind a runner; parallel lines sketched beside a head, arm, or leg to indicate movement; etc. I decided to make something a bit more abstract. I used my computer to develop concentric circles, which I broke into pieces that could suggest a spinning movement around a central core. I thickened the lines, enlarged the design to fit a 24” by 24” base, and cut each of the shapes out of 1/8” plywood. Wanting to animate the pieces visually, I wrapped the pieces in contrasting colorful handmade paper and layered them to create depth, with some overlapping. I added the pool balls to support the notion of movement and because they were round with their numbers enclosed in concentric circles.
