As well as researching artists I felt it necarssary to research a specific animal. With its side ways walk and multi jointed legs the humble crab preseneted an interesting prospect to develop. The way in which the body is suspended, often high above the groun in some species, by the legs, was of particular interest and has been a clear influence on numerous sciience fiction films over the years and perhaps some influencial pieces of design?
