Description
Artists Statement- The form of this piece is inspired by the chemical formula of a diamond. The idea behind the strongest substance "diamond" is that the shininess a diamond reflects is like the potential application of learned knowledge that would go beyond a cubical setting. Since the main color scheme of the library is neutral and earthy, the brown color is a way to merge into the color family of the larger setting. Each atom is approximately 1.5 feet sphere in diameter, and old books would be the ideal material to form the atoms. The red yarn that is wrapped around the bonds acts a symbol for learning desire that runs throughout humanity and the continuation of the yarn is there to enhance the idea that the learning process goes beyond. based on observation, the library is the place where everybody goes, regardless of how they identify themselves. the text on the atoms will be the phrase "Academic Without Borders" in different languages the are being spoken on the IUPUI campus. The texts would be in different colors to bring contrast with the brown background to add visual interests to the piece and the library space as well. the goal of collaborating with the office of International Student Association is to reach out to students from different cultural backgrounds and scan in their handwriting to fill the surface areas of the atoms. Hopefully the collaboration would help the students to feel more relatable to the space and other that are in the space as well.
