Play (Three Suggested Arrangements)
![Picture](/uploads/8/3/5/7/8357524/7979067.jpg)
26" x 32"
Acrylic on 64 canvases (2" x 3") with magnetic backs on spray painted sheet metal. Three suggested placements listed on the back of each canvas in a row by column format.
Artwork is allowed and encouraged to be touched to move the 64 canvases into the 3 suggested arrangements as indicated on the backs of the canvases. By allowing them to interact they are not only seeing the three intended compositions and getting insight into the art making process, but they are also possibly playing a brief role as curator by selecting the arrangement/composition that they leave behind for the next viewer.
This work actually involve the overlapping of three images of three different playgrounds in Kernersville, NC. The 64 canvases were rearranged after the painting of each image in an effort to mind the negative space in the images while also making room for the compositions yet to be included into the work.
