I was able to observe the playground in more detail by playing like a child in the playground. The structures of the playground felt colourful, rhythmic, structural, repetitive, elaborate, and dynamic.

I liked the rhythm and repetitive feeling, so I expressed it in the drawing.

He said, ‘Whether carved or painted, it’s very interesting and at the same time, it’s combined into side, ball, and nucleus without any meaning. It is perfect in itself, but it just stays still. The next step to move forward from the realm of sculpture is movement,’ he said.
I was inspired a lot and became very interested in kinetic art.

Mobile refers to a state in which an abstract piece supported at a point is dynamically balanced with wire or light metal pieces when it is a space configuration that moves subtly according to the movement of the atmosphere and is suspended by thread or others. By showing a three-dimensional composition that moves and changes in continuous time, new elements are added to modern sculpture. I want to express this moving art, that is, kinetic art, as a knit.

These are the patterns found while observing the playground closely. It is simple, but it looks elaborate as the forms are repeated. Various colours give a positive feeling.

I will draw and rearrange these patterns to create my own new pattern.

I made my paper playground based on the ideas and forms I found while observing the playground closely.
First, I thought about 3D knitwork while making various types of structures with paper.
Visually, children’s play and playgrounds can easily find shapes and the shapes were repeated. I should build a knit mobile playground by properly mixing Isamu Noguchi’s concept of space and materials, Alexander Calder’s sculpture and kinetic art.
