Title: "Parallel Space"
Artists' statement:
The idea of this artwork is to show creation of a virtual space in between layers, which the top and bottom water surface in the basin shows a space in-between. The inspiration comes from looking at things in a different way with a different perspective.
Why place the artwork there?:
Because we wanted to show a connection with the environment and artwork that is why we placed the artwork in-between 2 flights of stairs in hopes of letting it blend with the artwork.
Why choose these materials?:
We used a glass bowl, water and various marbles/ornaments.
Because we believe that using a transparent glass container in a round shape can project the image of a planet, and after being filled with water and ornaments, it can represent clouds(from the blue marbles) as we think that the colour and shape could show the bouncy and fluffy-like shape. The reason why we wanted to show reflections of clouds is because we wanted the image of the sky inside the bowl and to project the image to the surface, where it creates another layer of the world we live in.
Difficulties:
It was difficult to find the area between 2 flights of stairs to show the same vision that we had in our mind and with regards to safety issues. We experimented with using light to play with reflection of our artwork, but due to the limited time and resources, we could not develop our artwork any further. Thus we chose the location in-between stairs rather than using light. Also, we believe that using a mirror could have reinforced our idea much better considering that it could have reflected more idealistic images of our artwork.
