Using the results of your votes I have designed the sculpture, the key features I have focused on are "including a bit to sit on" and choosing to use "curves" and "circles" with no "straight lines" or "squares". For the "secret stuff" I have hidden parts of the "school logo" in with the hands. The digital files have been sent to Gap Metal, so the parts for the sculpture should be made in the next few weeks, on Thursday I will be visiting the school to discuss the site for the sculpture and to decide on the exact colours we will use, the most popular colour in the vote was red.
The work will be made from four curved uprights with a flat central 'seat' (red in the pictures) section which passes through the lower curved sections to form three 'seat areas' each of the sections will be made up using the hands so of course they wont be solid they will be full of holes. I think that there will also be extra small groups of hands (not shown) bolted onto the main curved surfaces to provide more colour and detail. The fundamental geometry is based on three intersecting circles, every curve is an arc radius of exactly 1m.
