Ambiguous

I chose to create forms inspired by the words voyeurism, chaos and ambiguous.  Voyeurism is clearly represented in the sculpture as the viewer is invited in by the artist to explore what lies on the other side of the structure.  The steps are intentionally used to entice the viewer to come closer and interact with the sculpture. 

Chaos is merely a big pile of shapes, glue and tape.  The random placing and tight form, are meant to represent the destruction seen in the aftermath of  a tornado when it strikes a trailer park.  Chaos represents my life at this point in time.

Ambiguous is translated through a structure that has clear and solid sides.  The structure is meant to create questions in the experience. What is up and what is down? Which is in and which is out? The form can be viewed in a variety of ways, once again reinforcing ambiguous nature of the form.

Monument is represented with a strong triangle form and several tape figures meant to represent worshipping.  The monument is large in scale in comparison to the figures representing the human form.
