hi my name is mitchell and I'm currently attending the art institute of seattle for my project im going to make a fire poi video.

my paper on the olympic sculpture park, and the piece i chose is called Wake.

I went to the art sculpture park and I was drawn to many of the art pieces. But on that didn’t really catch my eye was one called wake. When I looked at it, it just looked like bit sheets of metal. I tried to be open-minded about it but it really wasn’t working for me. So I went home and looked up the artist name. The piece was done by Serra it consist of two huge sheets of curved steel that are mirror images of each other put together to form what Serra calls “Ws” or wiggles. After going to the park and doing some research, them re looking at the art. I have experienced a lot more insight and meaning on it.

Sometimes you look to close at the art instead of the gaps and space around it, that creates the movement. Instead of just looking at the steal look at the gaps and the air in the middle. I saw shapes and flow. Looking at other pieces that he has done were even more amazing. I’m glad that I took a sculpture that I didn’t find to impressing and researched it because now it has made me want to look at more artwork don’t by this artist and see in person. At first when I looked at this piece I was kind of distraught and confused on what the artist was trying to get across and explain. Once I did the research and going back to the park I felt the sculpture came to life.
