What am I up to?

Today I finished my buzzy circle on the large piece of wood.
This work will have to be cut down to a circle and be one of the ground level circles for my installation as it is very heavy.


I have also bought a small motor which revolves 3x per minute. I plan to attach this motor to the wall and have two circles attached to it, the circle infront being the on that is slowly moving.
I am not sure how much of a distraction the motor will be when vieweing the work so I will need to test how large the wall work must be and also if I need to either bury the motor in the wall or in a solid cube fo polystyrene.


Todya I also went shopping to Mitre 10 for large sheets of polystyrene. I thyink that it will be a lot easier to cut these boards and I can use the excess to make small blocks underneath to raise some circles above others.
One concern I have about this material is its ability to remain flat, without warping when it is cut thin.
It is important that the circles are thin enough to not be seen by the viewer as objects (approx 2 strands of wool thick). If they do begin to warp I will glue two pieces of wood in a cross over the back of each one to keep them flat.


Now onto a lot of work!!!!
