Artist statement:
The sculpture reflects themes of mystery, isolation, and decision. My goal for this box was to express the idea of redirection and being the caption of your own life. The outside of the box is supposed to appear strange and unknown with the color white representing the ability to do anything. The multiple doors are to fully show the concept of redirection with the actual opening being unclear and unexpected. Lastly the objects themselves are reminiscent of children's building blocks, this is to say that life doesn't truly evolve to something so unrecognized from youth, the basics remain the same. Yet a lot can happen with each block representing different challenges. Red triangle - Risk/Danger, Blue square - Limited Time, Yellow ball - "life gives you lemons" / "what you do with what you have", Green star - Great Luck, sometimes we just get really lucky in life.
Notes:
Movie - The Life of Walter Mitty
Reflections - Trust the process, I really figured it out as I went. Had a rough idea but just went right into building. I used materials and building methods I enjoyed from previous projects, like the "skin" method with tracing paper, water, and glue.
