A Sense of Being Lost

MEGAN HOSTETLER

This piece is by Laura Showers, a fellow Dreyfoos student. The piece has 2D and 3D elements combined together. A wavy and fluid style combined with the concise use of wire coming off of the canvas shows the many mountains that Showers was trying to depict.

While the 3D and 2D elements mixed together is magnificent and is done beautifully, there was not much of an emotional feel to the piece other than a sense of being lost or being in turmoil. Of course, the best thing about this piece is the use of the medium and the captivating style that leaves so much to the viewer. This same style keeps the viewer’s eyes roaming around the canvas, constantly trying to make more sense of the piece and giving it a bouncy feel.
