LINE AND SPACE

For my wire sequence, I chose a theme to evolve them around, that being the concept of time. There are five hands mounted to a piece of wood to keep it stable and in sequence to the time and order they go in. Along with the concept of time, this piece shows the development of knowledge, especially through time. The first hand to the left is angled down, droping a seed. This seed symbolizes as idea of your goal, and the seed on the ground shows the determination for that seed to sprout. As one looks across to the final piece on the right, the hand rotates and reflects back down again, as if it is reaching for the knowledge. There, one notices that the seed is no longer there, and there is a piece of fruit ready for obtainment. The knowledge is gained, and the hardwork is shown. Throughout the piece one can barely tell they are hands unless you look close, showing that at times to gain that knowledge and fufillment you want, there are times when time goes by so fast it is hectic and hard to actually visualize what is going on, rather than to just continue and believe that the goal of knowledge will come true. And, it did. I believe this was very sucessful because I was able to get the response from the audience I wanted. It was suggested that the hands are too close together, exactly. Too close together and makes the audience feel uncomfortable. It is untraditional and forces the audience to seek inward meaning of what the piece is actually about.
