Breaking the Boundaries


When reading chapter twelve, on page 266, the book talks about the concept of boundaries. This is the first time I have ever heard of boundaries. I found it extremely interesting. The book states that "Because the art/life connection is so important, sculptors must be especially
attentive to the physical and psychological boundaries in each piece."

There are three aspects of boundaries you should be aware of: First, boundaries can connect you to the piece not only by suggesting idea but also by giving the viewer the ability to connect dots and expand on the piece with the use of imagination. Second, boundaries can separate us from different parts of a piece of art. And last but not lease boundaries can enclose us in the piece by way of boarder or a path that keeps our attention in the art piece.

"Without boarders we're just surfing on sand."
