Thoughts Progression
Wood and Wire
Height- 5’8 ½”
Top width- 1’ 10”x 1’ 6”
Base width- 4’ 6”x 3’ 11”
Wire sizes vary in length and thickness
 
This piece is an abstract representation of how thoughts advance throughout life. The black thick wire takes a heavier role of thoughts toward the top as the wooden base with thinner wire is a more mild representation. The viewers eye moves from the more opened, larger base containing less wire toward the top becoming more scattered and sometimes overwhelmed with thoughts. This becomes the journey of aging in life and thoughts becoming more and more simultaneous, heavy, and important. The five sided wooden shape also takes on the idea of thoughts as the stair like structures extend spiraling inward becoming a new conversation of their own as the wires speak with them as well. The slight opening in the front gives the spectator a chance to come into the piece and experience their own thoughts from within.
