Planning a Model for McCartney

Having developed ideas for what the sculpture could look like I then drew more detailed sketches with plan and side views of the sculpture. Showing the exact shape it would take to help me with constructing the model. Here I also came up with the idea of having the arrows supported by a tree that represents McCartneys enviromentalism, specifically his vegetarianism.
After designing the sculpture I had to design a simple space for it to sit within. For this I decided to replicate the iconic Abbey Road zebra crossing and have these as the start point for the arrows to rise up out of. The road then blends into a green field, reflecting on McCartneys time living on a remote farm in Scotland.
