The Italian Invasion of BiW continues; this week we see a new artist (or at least new to me), luce Laval. We talked about this work on the podcast; I really like it, though Jay seemed less enthusiastic. I enjoy the way that the curves fit together, and the way that the piece suggests a staircase to climb to the heavens. I also like the shiny bits at the edges; they remind me of the bling that is often seen on Second Life jewelry, but they’re more subtle, rotating rather than blinking. The entire piece rotates, slowly enough so that you can look at it closely, yet another good thing; it’s dynamic without the dynamic element being distracting or interfering with the viewer’s ability to appreciate the form of the work.
