What began as a simple sketch with a few distinct angles quickly morphed into an exploration of geometry. In art school, I was inspired by Braque and Picasso as they used geometry to represent multiple angles of a subject at once through cubism.
As usual, my first sketch led to another, and then another. The angles became more pronounced. Then the shapes defined by those angles became negative spaces. Somewhere in that process, the geometry gave way to something unplanned — a blue heart, emerging where I hadn't drawn one.
That heart is what led me to the title. I had several ideas in mind, but in the end, "Blue" seemed sufficient. As with many of my titles, it's a single word suggesting much more. I like that approach because I do not want to impose additional information onto my viewers. I want you to experience your own reflection first.
Art is a bit like wine. It's perceived differently by each individual. And your perception can be different with each encounter. So even though a sculpture may be a static piece, its impact is anything but. It is dynamic. And so is your response. It is a product of my imagination that triggers yours.
