movement, motion

Started with my journey, roadways and motorway I use to get to LSAD everyday. Looked at signage and road markings. While these don't move in themselves they imply movement, providing me with  a visual language that projects me forward in a certain way.

At this stage I was looking for Artists who used the motorway as a subject.   Found the work of Anthony Collins who produced a set of prints 'The Road Series' derived from his daily commute from Drogheda to Dublin city.   Also looked at the motorway sculpture ' Perpetual Motion' by Remco De Fouw. This work is very familiar to most people, as it is very visible on the Nass section of motorway as you head for Dublin.
