fuzzy spheres

1999

		My interest with spherical forms continues in "Fuzzy Spheres" and was my first piece that used an electronic sensor. A group of ten eighteen-inch spheres are covered in light tan faux fur and attached to a motion sensor. When the viewer approaches them, they wobble via motors inside each one of them. Movement activates the work, or completes it; the viewer must get near, and receives the joyous return of "someone" to play with.
"The artistic play and artistic imitation carried out by adults, unlike children’s, are aimed at an audience." -Freud
