16x16"
Artist's Statement:
This sculpture explores the sense of touch and how sight and touch connect back to life as a whole. It visually communicates the idea of time and life through the color and the 12 skewers that are formed as a sort of awkward clock formation. Overall the work was inspired mostly around touch. I actually designed a goop made of paint, baby powder, and Elmers glue that hardens as it dries and creates a strange texture for the viewer. Not to mention the pieces of spray foam scattered along the piece also allows for new textures to explore as well because it has an element of squish to it that the rest of the piece does not have. I think the idea of touch is significant in life especially because we as humans cannot survive without touch. I also see touch connecting back to the idea of life and time because our first real sense of touch is typically our mothers giving us life. Touch is all around us and being able to connect with the world in that way is important.
