experim e ntal research.
The first avenue of experimental research
that I pursed revolved around how personal
connections to objects and words can affect
how the viewer understand a piece. In this
case, the handling of the typography affects
how you understand the relationship
between the hands and feet, either softly
caressing or tense and retreating.
This second comparison works with the physical materials
of brown sugar and honey mustard. I paired these
experiments with a piece done by a fellow student at
Emmanuel College. “Growth” causes the viewer to understand
the linear forms to be growing and extending
out of the box where as “confinement” feels sticky and
heavy as if it is retreating within the box.
