Fire & Ice

The sculpture entitled Fire & Ice explores ideas of color theory and shape theory. It also explores different textures with the different textures the shapes make. There are two sculptures that make up the full relief sculpture, and each of the two sculptures are supposed to be opposite from the other. One sculpture was created with soft, round edges and warm colors. The other was created with rough, jagged edges and cool/darker colors. I did research about how certain shapes and colors are said to evoke certain feelings within a viewer. I found that warmer colors and softer edges are associated with more positive feelings, while jagged shapes and cooler colors are associated with more negative feelings. This is an important concept to explore because we see colors and shapes everywhere, and colors and shapes can be manipulative when in comes to emotions and feelings.
