Some Time Alone, Alone // Melody's Echo Chamber
The gesture of the box
represents a calm Buddha like figure. The spoons’ reflective quality of light
enhances the enlightened pose of the Buddha box. We chose the spoons because
it’s mass produced and also because we appreciated the other clear spoon
sculptures in the class because of the transparency.
From the sheer number of
spoons, it transcends just spoons. Depending on the lighting, the spoons change
what texture it actually is. It takes on the form of bubbles, glass or ice.
It relates to the site
because of the light and how the box responds to it. The light table and the
clamp lights reflect off the spoons giving the box a new texture and
reaffirming the bubble texture at points.
It is definitely a site-responsive
sculpture. The light table in the storage rooms changes the atmosphere that the
box is in. The lights create multiple shadows on the wall and effects the mood
to somewhat playful to sinister and mysterious.
In terms of material
quantity, we used over 1,500 spoons to create the texture in order to surpass
the original given properties of the spoon. This project posed a challenge for
us as it took a long time and a lot of resources.
