Sienna Martz - Flora II 2019


The piece above titled "Flora II" was made by Sienna Martz this year. All of her sculptures in this exhibit have a perplexing amount of texture that is intriguing; it seems to capture viewers into feelings compelled to touch the piece or at the very least, observe it very closely. I chose this particular piece because it seems to simultaneously embody simplicity and complexity. The simplicity of the piece comes from the one unanimous color yellow; there are no different shades involved. It is, quite simply, yellow. What I find to be complex about the sculpture is the texture and form. There are numerous twists and turns in the canvas material to form what appear to be flower petals. The are spread out naturally and almost whimsically. Overall, I can appreciate the beauty in both the simplicity and complexity of this sculpture.
