connection between this artwork and my practice: Hesse was interested in the process of making, the importance of hand making, creating inner and outer spaces in her work, her perception of the negative spaces and other elements and their beauties. “If you use fiberglass clear and thin, light does beautiful things to it …it is there__ part of its anatomy” adds extra similarity to my projects in addition to our similarities in use of biomorphic and geometric abstraction or transferring line in space.
I am interested in her work and specially this sculpture because of geometric aesthetic and Balance, hanging from the ceiling, organic form and being a minimal installation. Shadow and light and the way she created the sculpture by letting the weight of the ball shape the net art are other important elements.
