Untitled 3 - Wood Sculpture (2008) |
Untitled 3 is an abstract expression of my being in the moment of its creation. This piece captures the essence of spontaneity and presence, embodying the artistic process as it unfolded. Each wooden piece is in itself a unique work of art; no two pieces are the same. These distinct elements have been thoughtfully connected to form an abstract structure that twists and reaches for the sky, symbolizing aspiration and the boundless nature of creativity.
The solid blue color of Untitled 3 pays homage to the influential work of Clyfford Still, specifically his painting entitled 1953. The choice of blue not only references Still's bold use of color but also conveys a sense of tranquility and introspection. Shadows play a crucial role in this piece, creating tonal variations and enhancing its depth. The interplay of light and shadow adds a dynamic quality to the sculpture, inviting viewers to explore its contours and surfaces from different angles.
Untitled 3 invites viewers to meditate on the aesthetic beauty of the process of creation. It encourages a reflective experience, prompting contemplation on how each unique element contributes to the whole. The piece stands as a testament to the individuality of its components and the harmony achieved through their connection. By engaging with Untitled 3, viewers are offered a moment of stillness and appreciation for the artistic journey, from the conception of each piece to the final, unified form.
