LIGHT
By: Garson Yu. Posted Aug 25, 2010 at 6:48 PM.Life has a beginning and an ending.
But in our lifetime,
there exists a continuum,
a time full of curiosity and constant surprise,
observation and discovery.
When I look at Degas’ sculptures,
I am always fascinated by how I am able to see something new each time.
My perception changes at each angle and as I walk around the sculpture,
the figures give new meaning.
Figures in motion.
De Kooning defined painting as drawing,
and from his and Degas’ work,
I became curious as to how sculpture could be defined as drawing
and play with our perceptions of sculpture.
