The concept of the spider's web comes from the title of the project, OFF THE WALL. The idea for the project is to take painting 'off the wall' and into the landscape of the University.
An image of the spider's web is then recorded via remote capture (Google earth, a drone remote helicopter with camera or the like). Taking the vantage point of the 'web' or the helicopter, the resulting image is then re-projected 'onto the gallery wall'.
