A distorted figure gives the feeling of movement, the fluid like form gives the almost blurred impression of a figure moving forward. The way the figure is made up of cascading shapes is reminiscent of a waterfall. This gives the impression of the figure almost urging forward in a fluid motion, towards something unknown. There is also a sense of the space which the figure has moved from, due to the shapes dragging backwards behind the figure. Even though it is cast in metal it looks very organic and natural. It is reminiscent of how something which dashes past you is disfigured, distorted by speed. At the same time as looking organic there is also a feel of an almost mechanical body, particularly in the head where the viewer becomes more aware of the fact that it has been cast in bronze, due to the straight, unnatural lines. There is a feeling of kinetic energy within the figure, as if it is cascading forward unstoppably. This gives the impression of a suggested before and after image, as if this sculpture is one in a series of movements.

Composed from bronze, standing at 111.2 cm high, this sculpture depicts a futuristic style figure in a position which evokes a feeling of movement. the fluid form of this figure, consisting of cascading forms is reminiscent of a waterfall. due to this comparison you feel that it is a changeable form, if you look a second later it would have changed or disappeared. this itself links it with the feeling of transience and the passing of time. the way humans travel through time and space. although it is a static sculpture the movement depicted in this piece feels unstoppable, like a force of nature. the figure itself looks quite robotic in some respects, but this is juxtaposed with the soft, organic shapes it actually consists of. the mechanical, robotic aesthetic is seen more clearly in the head of the figure, where suddenly the organic forms have been replaced with straighter, unnatural lines. due to the fluid shapes flowing back from the figure the viewer is prompted to think of where the figure has been in the past, where it is moving from. this adds to the idea of the figure being transient.

this metal sculpture stands at 111.2 cm high. It consists of an arrangement of molten looking forms, giving a fluid aesthetic to the piece. The shapes used to create the figure cast extreme shadows producing a lot of contrast between the light and dark areas. There is an interplay between static and motion, a pull between these two opposed states. This gives a feeling of trapped energy within the sculpture. The figure portrays movement yet it is restricted by the restraints of the material from which it is made, it's reality. The stance in which the figure has been placed in, is one of power; this gives the feeling of it being an unstoppable force. Due to the colour of the metal and the soft rounded shapes from which it is formed, the figure looks like an organic object. This contrasts with the way that the shapes fit together, which gives a feeling of a mechanical object. We can relate to the sculpture due to its recognisable features of the human form, however it's unrealistic size produces a distance between the viewer and the sculpture. This makes us feel like we are onlookers to the 'event' occurring in this piece.

This bronze sculpture stands at 111.2 cm high. This sculpture depicts what looks to be a figure in a running stance. It conveys a feeling of movement, of passing through space and time, due to this positioning. This is highlighted by the fluid forms trailing back from the figure. It consists of a series of cascading forms which gives the feeling of the figure tumbling forward. These forms are rounded and look soft and organic which contrasts with the reality of what they are actually made of. There is an interplay between what it actually is and what it looks like. The material is hard and static, yet the sculpture looks fluid, due to this, there is a feeling of the action being restricted by the reality of the material from what it is made. The form is recognisable as a human overall, in it's basic shape, which means the viewer can relate to it, however it has qualities which separate it from the human form, including it's urealistic size. This disconcerts the viewer creating a distance between them and the sculpture.
