That's ...Thank you for including video of this. That's a big help in getting an idea of how this sculpture works.<br /><br />Just from what I've seen here it seems to me that the assymetry would still have been prominent without the movement. The dark green is a heavier visual weight than the light yellow cross formation. The white background emphasizes the contrast between the dark green and the yellow motor oil as well. <br /><br />Its hard to tell what a "natural" static position for this sculpture would be. The feeling from the horizontal orientation in your video is very different from the vertical set up of the photograph. The vertical set up gives a sense of tension by having suspended thin rods bear the weight of the motor oil at their ends. Horizontally it feels almost like a minimalistic Dali painting with a deep horizon, yellow middle ground, and dramatic green foreground.<br /><br />I don't think the sculpture being kinetic was necessary, but it definitely adds a lot of interest to this.Emily C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15264617363733484623noreply@blogger.com
