Artist Statement
My favorite project to work on was the balsa wood sculptures. For this image I chose to recreate my balsa wood sculpture. What I loved about the original was that I was able to simulate motion through rhythm. I enjoy how one object appears to influence another, despite it being frozen or stagnant. There is a beautiful irony. The picture depicts movement, yet the picture does nothing. I feel the picture replicates how people get into a motion and go through their lives being stuck in a rhythm, and despite this motion they arn't moving anywhere. It is easier to get into rhythm than to challenge yourself. The color purple is the color of wisdom. Though rhythm can be safe it does not challenge the self and is therefor unwise. Furthermore, each image appears to fall, which symbolizes how easily it is to fall into a cycle of repetition.
