Spell of the Sensuous. Ch 6.

My sculpture reaction for chapter 6 was an attempt to portray the freezing of time. I responded to the quote from chapter 6 "the singular magic of a place is evident from what happens there, from what befalls oneself or others when in its vicinity. To tell of such events is implicitly to tell of the particular power of that site, and indeed to participate in its expressive potency." Abram also talks about cyclical time. Although this may be true in nature for humans time is very linear and we can only find consolation through an attempt to hold onto memories through experiences of places. This sculpture was a big step for me because I found a way to incorporate drawing in my work. Oh it's also very theatrical.
