metalmorphosis

take the most recignizable feature of a person, the head, and make a work that distorts that image to the point where you dont even recognize its a head. thats exactly what David Cerny did in Charlotte, NC. his piece metalmorphosis was the sculpture of a head broken down into 7 sections that rotate at diffent times via computer program so that you dont even realize its a face. as i have learned in this class, people love to be able to always recognize what art is suppose to be. if that were the case, art wouldnt be that interesting. when his piece rotates with its different sections, it makes the scupture almost unrecognizable. people will wait for the head to take its normal shape. thats what public art should do. it should captivate people; keep them wondering what is going on. that seems to be what i am starting to do. my work used to be easy to figure out. now im learning to use different means to get my point across instead of a literal symbols.
