Ahhh so now I'm very confused. Going into the actual construction and building of the sculpture, I thought I knew exactly what I was going to do, and had everything all planned out and the whole thing was gonna be all nice and neat. Well that plan lasted for a whole three days. Today, I was given some valuable advice from both Mrs. Mosley and Coach Hall, both who made some really eye-opening points to guide me through this process. Mrs. Mosley was helping to guide me for light choices, as shown below, where I was trying to decide whether or not to contain my lights within a clear boundary, or just let them be bunched up and hang, when Coach brought up the point that by adding lights to the center of my lil creations, I was turning my sculptural element into more of a decorative one, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but not something that I was really going for. This realization is now what is really stumping me as far as the thought process and where I want to go from here. I'm now kinda questioning my idea from the beginning and am now potentially considering just making my lil wire creations in various sizes, and having them hang independently of each other on the ceiling or on like a very loooong and semi wideish structure/piece of wood so that they could become a pathway but be staggered and not just like in a straight line. The process has become much, MUCH more complicated than I thought it would be and I have gained insight into the struggles that artist go through to create their works and content. Hopefully, I will have a more structured idea of where I want to go with this soon so I can just feel more reassured that I know how far away I am from the finish line to better pace myself.

For anyone who says "art is easy." Ha! I still think lighting is an option - I gave you the article about artists working with light - it's a thing! But is is art or design? A sculpture or a chandelier? This is what you need to resolve. I'd like to push art and I think you can easily do this.... but not without some real brain twisting!!
