"RIDGEVIEW"

For my environmental/installation project I planned on creating a sign for my townhome complex. Instead of creating one singular form, I broke it down into nine individual planes. Five of them were 1ft by 1 ½ ft and the other four were 1 ½ ft by 2-¼ ft. My sculpture uses the same style I have portrayed in my other Foundations 2 projects. I used the repetition of different planes to create a form. My piece consists of nine different planes put together to create one, unified form. The most important aspect of my sculpture would have to be the proximity of the nine different planes. Each plane is placed in a specific location and distance from one another. They come together so that when viewed at the right spot the nine different planes are displayed as one image. The primary forms of my piece are rectangular planes. The secondary form is the blue lettering within each plane and the yellow borders on the top and bottom. The nine planes come together to spell “RIDGEVIEW”. Even though my installation can be relocated to a different spot, it is still a site-specific work of art because of its location in front of my residential complex. I placed the larger planes further back from the smaller ones. The weakness of my piece is that there are minor flaws in the location of my planes. Instead of seeing one perfect transition across the planes, you see some edges and spaces, which interrupt the flow of my form.
