Wire Manipulation

You bend the wire this way you twist the wire that way and you take the step back. You have no idea what you are doing but you feel that you are creating something but what are you creating. You continue to manipulate the wire and you end up with…

Gesture is to show or express direction through movement.

Movement is a change of position that does not entail a change of location.

Balance is the distribution of the weight actual or visual of the elements of a composition.

I tried as best as I could to follow the lines of the people that modeled. The pieces that I am showing you are the pieces that I felt showed the person the best.

Peter Jansen is an artist that works constantly with movement. While working with movement he uses the human form to create energy and space with simple everyday tasks. When looking at some of the first pieces that he made you notice the open space that give the feeling of that they hold no weight. In his most recent work he captures the human movement through space and time in a single spot.

He has also created Attractor objects.

The reason why I enjoy Jansen's work so much is because of his use of the human form. Even in his attractor objects you still see bits and pieces of the human form. I find that his work also holds great lines that my eyes love to follow.
