Object (Fran Allison) 10 sculptures and objects
REPETITION
Montres Bracelets, by Cesar Baldaccini, 400mm x200mmx200mm, Compression of wristwatches, 1987.
Baldaccini produced works of compressed objects like scrap metals, soldering figurative objects together to create receptive and repetitive sculptures.
TEXTURE/SURFACE
Sashley Murphy, wood
The texture has a lumpy feel to it, yet the surface portrays another story. The smooth roundness of the bottom half of the object gives the sense of being delicate with it or it might shatter at any moment.
BALANCE
Joel Shapiro an American sculptor
Shapiro works are made of bronze and wood, playing with the simplification of form creating abstracted sculptors and objects.
SCALE
Mike Ross challenges the laws of gravity, daring to create extraordinary sculptures through sheer absurdity, constructing trucks and many other objects together to reach his vision.
SPACE
Quite a intriguing piece, the negative space the wire creates between figures, the sense of gravity and the three dimensional rectangles isolating the figures enforces another dimension.

VOLUME/MASS
Artist: Angela Johnson
I feel this sculpture has a lot of volume and mass in the sense of its symbolic connection to the masses (people, nations and race etc).

TIME/MOVEMENT
Artist: Alicia Eggert
This work informs time and movement for me, like a clock, No I mean many clocks. The work for me seems calculating, scientific and just like a set of needles circulating over and over again. I guess thats how we operate almost 24/7 of our lives, in frantic battle against movement and time.

SITE
Artist: Kazuki Guzman
Guzman is inspired by"mundane events". And is driven by being playful exploring, ideas and materials as shown above. Branding a banana with a well known brand "Louis Vuitton", provokes my thoughts, does it add more value to the banana? Is it fashionable? do I eat it? Can I wear it?.

WEIGHT
Artist: Do Ho-Suh
Now here we have a artist that creates x-ray like objects of everyday objects, for example bath tubs, heater etc. Made from polyester fabric that appears weightless. Exploring ideas around weight and the use of different materials to give a deceptive sense of weight is interesting. We automatically categorise materials, objects in terms of weight through memory, experience or encounters with these materials. For example; steel associated with heavy, hard and durable. But if we were to take a piece of cardboard and change its appearance to that of a metal bar. We would assume its heavy cause thats the connection we have with metal.
PROPORTION/COMPOSITION/DISPLAY AND LIGHTING
Pattern – Klaus Ihlenfeld – “composition in a cube” – 1961
I like the composition of this work, a cube and within that cube we have something totally different from its outside appearance. It becomes technical as the proportion changes to a architectural sense, its displayed well. The lighting creates intertwined dancing shadows as they become mutated in a moment of a new creation.
