Rowe Arts Galleries visit 3/22

I liked Amber D. Watts’ “New object infrastructure". Her piece looked so real and the composition was very interesting. Due to the 3-dimensionality of the objects that are placed in the piece, it made me want to touch it and see if it operates. Artists who place an object that looks like it can be opened, pushed, spinned makes the viewer want to touch it. This it is a success I think, that is if it was the artist's goal. Another thing that grabbed my attention was that the piece looked as if it was cut from an old house and then placed in a modern gallery. Love the old and new contrast in this piece.

The second piece that I really liked was "Graphology" by Carol Golemboski. I got to comment her on finding a way of making two completely different subjects (math and art) harmonious in her piece. It is like she's showing us the exact calculations and notes of drawing. I admire her approach so much because in all the student galleries that I visited I never seen such contrast. The use of white colored media on a black panel makes me think of a mathematician sketching his calculations on how to position a hand while drawing.
