The Power of Change

Ideas are interesting things, they are malleable, complex, and have potential to be insightful. We don't always notice how powerful change can be, especially when incorporated into artwork, but with just a few tweaks to the background and/or nature of the art piece, a whole new idea can be portrayed. Stewart (2012) states, "any compositional change affects the conceptual impact of an artwork." That's right, even the miniscule, last minute changes make a difference. The below artpiece is a reflection of how conceptual variations can influence artwork. By adding the turning gears it gives the mind a mechanistic, almost robotic quality.
