Sometimes writing about your own art can be challenging because so much of it is emotion based but if you’re able to get your ideas out on paper it’s easier to draw in an audience. This article speaks very concisely about the artists project and really gives the reader a visualization of what the final product looks like. Right in the first paragraph the author cites his inspiration for the piece as the chandeliers inside the Metropolitan Opera House so that gives the reader an idea of what his piece may look like. His writing then goes on to the second paragraph to explain a few of the materials he chose to form his sculpture from and a brief reasoning for his choices. I like that the author tells us about what the Big Bang is without going into so much scientific detail that would make it not understandable to the ordinary person. Granted I had to read it twice to get a better understanding of it but it was still readable. The author ties in his artistic reasoning as well as his knowledge of the research to provide us with an artist statement that is clear and concise. It’s very clear that the artist had a specific intent when making “An End to Modernity” and that he is able to write clearly about it.
