I was inspired by Jesus Rafael Soto’s piece Two Volumes in Virtual. He used 100’s of yellow dowel rods sticking out of a yellow square to form the base and he used about half as many white rods to form the top. I enjoyed how he placed the small individual dowel rods close together to give the squares mass, but because the dowel rods were long and installed in rows and columns it made the bottom half of the yellow space seem airy while the top of the yellow area seemed more dense. Then depending on your position the piece would seemed to vary in density. Also, I like the use of a yellow back ground with the yellow rods because when looking down at the square once again the space seems even more solid, but the ends of rods and the amount of light on each rod breaks up the space.
