* Art 21 - Olafur Eliasson

Trust/Personal Context

As Eliasson talked about his work and how he trusts the observer to add their personal                  connection when looking at his art. Leaving you able to interpret what you need to see                and gather a meaning that pertains to what you need to feel.

Within this picture is a lot of white space, but the reflection in the mirrors creates                    harmony. The repetition allows you to see in and around the exhibit, making you feel                    as if you are a part of it.

The Weather Project is an example of balance. Having the sun in a large window that                    has two vertical lines on either side of the center of the sun shows symmetry. This                        concept continues with the line down the center of the floor and the walls on each side                of the image.

Intertwined - Grief and Hope

  2D Project - create an image using 2 objects in various sizes to simulate foreground and background fading out of view.  For this project I used two Willow Tree sculptures created by artist Susan Lordi to compose my project. As a military widow these two sculptures hold significant meaning. The foreground is composed of more Hero statues as it signifies more of the immediate grief after suffering loss.

Project 1 The Box

Project 1 – Boxed Mind The box remains a central part of my art work, so I decided to look further into its meaning. The definition of a box is a container, which is an object that can be used to hold or transport something. Synonyms of a container are a vessel, a casket, and pottery. In this sense, one could consider the human mind a vessel that stores memories. This concept was intriguing and worthy of further development. Focusing on this concept, the human mind became a space comprised of various compartments. Each compartment ranged from a single level to multiple levels. The multi-level compartment were for the more complex thoughts and feelings; places that needed more space to breathe. As I planned the sculpture, I envisioned a mandala, made with various shaped boxes instead of circles. Originally thinking about using paper to sculpt, my vision began to change as I cut out each individual area. The piece needed to be more solid and sturdy, so I brought in the natural elem...
