Development of Final Idea

The idea that I looked at pursuing for the final piece was the chaos and order theory, using a subject to propose a theme of duality as something as simple and abstract as a ball of intertwined string.

It has to be noted that I did want to pursue the coal and diamond idea however due to difficulties getting hold of a synthetic diamond this idea was not possible to do.

The idea of the ball of string piece is all about chaos and order. 

Within chaos exists order, in that order, exists chaos.

There is the duality of the piece, chaos and order merging together.

The order that the ball of string is comprised of just one singular piece, yet the chaos is converyed by the intertwined ball of string. I like the idea and believe it will be more powerful using a singlur subject that will convey duality, not the obvious choice.

It's a very abstract piece, different and at first glance doesn't strike and scream duality.

Here is a little bit of research regarding chaos theory and chaos and order that will add strength to my idea.

Extremely interesting article by Gerald Schueler in which he goes into great detail regarding chaos theory and order.
