What is the most interesting thing/aspect about Shelter II to you?

The most fascinating aspect of this piece is the way the beads form a captivating silhouette when combined together. I like how it creates its own environment that is visually striking and captivating full of geometric shapes and patterns. The reflectiveness of the piece is also especially intriguing as it adds an element of depth and dimension to the overall design.

In your mind, how does the sculpture's surface, made of mirror-polished beads, contribute to the meaning of the work? You might consider how the installation interacts with and changes the environment in which is placed, how the piece incorporate the side/gallery and how it incorporate the viewer.

Reflection can symbolize a harmonious relationship between the object and its surroundings. It may suggest that the artwork is not isolated but is intricately connected to the space in which it exists.

Interact with surrounding environment

it reflects

The reflective beads on the sculpture not only mirror its surroundings but also establish a deep connection with the space it occupies. Each polished bead captures and reflects the gallery's architecture and natural light, actively interacting with its environment. This interplay creates an intriguing illusionary effect, provoking viewers to question what is real and what is perceived. Through this dynamic interaction, the artwork represents how art, space, and observer are interconnected, challenging traditional ideas about artistic expression and inspiring contemplation on its ever-changing nature.

Does the instillation feel like a cloak, and embrace, a storm, a shelter - does it feel heavy or light? Does it feel comforting or threatening and why? And what is the difference from viewing the work from afar and looking at it up close?

This piece has a strong presence, almost like an approaching storm. The combination of the polished beads creates a cloud-like resemblance, heightened by its metallic gray color, giving it a threatening feel. The solid and metallic nature of the sculpture adds to its intimidating aura. However, as you get closer and look closely, the reflective beads show your own reflection, adding a personal touch that reduces the initial intimidation. It's an interesting shift; up close it feels more personal and less overwhelming while from afar the sculpture maintains its imposing size and uniqueness. Essentially, it's like experiencing both being in a storm and observing it from a distance - each perspective reveals different aspects of this installation's character.
