Abstract

The definition of eccentric is to deviate from an established pattern or form, accepted usage or conduct. I feel that this one word describes best what I do. The decision do this piece was based on the simple idea that lifting more weight can make you stronger. I believe this to be true with talents as well as with muscles. Though I do not see it as my strongest piece, I feel it was the work most critical in the series I have pursued. Beginning with a formal idea that started with the artistic element of movement, I learned how certain objects and movements have conceptual weight. Though I did not intend to, when it was finished I looked at it and saw I had created a large representation of myself. In completing the Bowler Coaster I stretched my mind, my abilities and learned the importance of integrating conceptual elements in creating art.
