Melty Night
2018
Sculpture
12 x 16 x 14 in
Acrylic Paint on Clay
This sculpture is inspired by Salvador Dali’s Persistence of Memory and an appropriation of Vincent Van Gogh’s Starry Night. By replicating the melting clocks in his painting, I created a similar structure but a melting frame instead. Framing artworks is a tradition which makes a piece of fine art completed. The melting and cracking structure creates a decayed and deformed shape of the originally rigid and sharp form of a frame, which further breaks through the formal quality of art.
