Referencing the visual language of a traditional foot trap from Cameroon I created a steel sculpture that is designed to be presented vertically and captivate visually. | Keywords: | Sculpture;art;trap | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/39821 | Link to publication/dataset: | https://www.jessemagee.net/news.html | Discipline: | beeldende kunsten | Research Context: | This project endeavors to expand the metaphor of the trap that has been dominated by negative connotations of guile and deceitfulness and violence. It strives to further the meaning of traps to include suggestion and invitation as opposed to only indoctrination. In this work I use the shape of a trap that would function by being hidden to make a sculpture that seeks to captivate visually. Exploiting classic compositional techniques, the work draws the viewer’s eye to the middle of the sculpture holding it at exactly the point which would normally capture the leg of an animal. The visual reference to a traditional functional trap highlights to the viewers that they are being baited without reducing the effect. | Impact Description: | Exhibited at the exhibition "Art Circle 2022" at the Goriški Museum - Grad Dobrovo, SI | Related Info: | PXL-MAD School of Arts Venus' flower basket |
