Our critique group came to my studio to look at and talk about the two installations that I have been working on all semester. I am using both of them to study the light and shadows that are created by what I am making.
This piece is made from cut bristol board. I am taking the shapes for the individual pieces from photos that I have taken of tree bark. In the crit, we talked about how you can see "rivers" of more detailed shapes within the larger shape.
We compared my installations, noting that in the first one, while using organically-inspired shapes, the overall shape still appears pretty unnatural, whereas in the second installation, which is constructed of iridescent perfect circles, the shape is very organic. I also mean for this second installation to be displayed near a low-powered fan that will cause the individual pieces to be constantly moving. Someone noted the relation between this movement and the movement that we had earlier observed within the difference in the shapes in my other piece.
