YouTube - Inspiration

I have been meaning to post this link since we had the lecture on 'The Stair' and I saw this preview for 'Horton Hears a Who'

Its only about the first 30seconds that I am talking about, but to conceptualize a stair that is so abstract is pretty cool. Unfortunately we live in a world with laws of physics that don't allow the kind of things that come into Dr Seuss' head, but the freedom of creativity in the world of Dr Seuss is truely inspireing.



I have also been meaning to post some other images, so I might as well do it now. I mentioned before that M.C.Escher had some influence on my other creative work, so I thought I'd post some of his conceptualisations of stairs.





Here are some links to animations of Escher's stairs on YouTube.
