What do you think the title is?
I'm guessin' it's probably a series of sculptures titled "berries".
Firstly i would still tstick to my stand that it is a bunch of blueberries.
And in the background further up i see another simillar looking sculpture which looks like grapes to me.
Mmhmm.
Or maybe it could be a word or sentence that describes berries/fruits such as
"Juicy"
or
"Tropical"
or
"Organic"
then again it also resembles this.
So, "Molecules"?
Then it's gotta be a molecule formed from many many atoms to get that huge bulk.
But sitll, i'd go with the berries.
What do you think the artist is trying to convey in this work?
I think the artist wants the viewers to be more aware of the things around them.
And maybe he used berries as they are small.
Then he blows them up into huge sizes so that people can appreciate the detail of these tiny objects which we overlook, and realize that, "Oh, so this is how the thing is like. I could never tell without taking a closer look!"
Or that he wanted the viewers to imagine that they were minimized and things around them looked bigger.
The viewers are like ants that want to sneak up and have a good share of the sweet tasty fruits.
What feelings are invoked in you when seeing the artwork?
When i first saw it, i was stunned and felt confused because the sculpture appeared to be a huge alien like object which is uniform through out.
it is like being trapped in a box.
No matter where you look, you see the same things.
Then the lumps seem to work as little mirrors which reflect the viewers.
The frightening element becomes greater as i see so many of myself and on top of that i feel lost.
But after awhile, after i realize that it's a black berry, i start to feel like i'm in a dream.
A dream where certain objects have grown out of size.
And if it had the matt looking texture of a real berry, i might even think of having a bite.
HAHAH.
The dream then turns into a nightmare as my imagination runs wild again.
I feel as if the berries are going to spawn continuously and then devour me.
Once again, it's the fear factor.
Feelings?
Fear.
Why do you think this work is suitable for public displaying?
Hmm.
Yea i do think so anyways.
I think because the quality is there and the work is huge.
If it were to be of poor quality, it could just crumble or topple over if there were strong winds or a viewer touched it(if they're allowed to).
If the work was going to be tiny, it wouldn't attract much attention which then defeats the purpose of displaying it to the public.
Other than that, nothing should stop it from being displayed in public.
Good or not, it's still an artwork and whether people like it, thats another story.
