Geolocation Project (Project One) Initial Idea.

GEOLOCATION- PROJECT ONE 

INITIAL CONCEPT:

For my initial Concept I have decided to use the liverpool docks as my location for my 3D sculpture as I used to go there a lot during my teenage years as I grew up in a town just outside of Liverpool so this is where me and my friends would often visit, I have a lot of good memories there.so that is why i have chosen the Liverpool docks as my location.

In particular this area below:

For the actual sculpture I came up with the idea of modelling and 'Octopus's Garden' to be placed in the centre of the water in the image above.This idea was inspired by the song 'Octopus's Garden' off The Beatles' album 'Abbey Road'.

Due to the Beatles being one of the main tourist attractions of liverpool there is already a few sculptures within liverpool referencing The Beatles

However the majority of them are very monochromatic and dont really stand out andin my opinion don't really capture The Beatles' psychedelic image that they portrayed when they were a growing band. The only one that captures this is the Yellow Submarine statue however that is quite far out from the city centre and many visitors may not have noticed it when leaving the airport (which is where it is positioned). 

Therefore I think it would be very fitting to place a big colourful statue to remember The Beatles as how they were would be a very fitting statue within liverpool.
