The Creator's Dream

Ok so this is my critique for 'The Creator's Dream' (TCD) as requested. First and foremost I would like to say the basis for this work:

'Poseidon's Treasure' (PT) is an exceptionally strong piece and one of my favorites. TCD has a much deeper color scheme, but lacks the composite spherical dominance of PT.

'The Creators Dream' feature's much richer individual spheres, and the complexity between the spheres is more intriguing. In fact, the depth of intrigue internal to each sphere has provoked a wealth of potential artistic visions uninspired by PT. This ability to conjure profound thoughts is TCD's strongest aspect.

However, the continuity between each sphere feels inhibited to me by a flat unified plane. (as opposed to a dynamic unified plane featured in 'Nest' by the same artist) This static plane is pivotal to other works by the same artist but appears counterproductive in this piece.

I now feel as though 'The Creators Dream' is one complete frame within a three part vertical build (each frame of equal dimensions). My logic is as follows. Lindelokse has provided a solid foundation of 3D expansion (ie a static unified plane) that is on an angle to the viewer, however, the powerful contrast it provides is suppressed by the square and rigid boundaries holding it (ie the actual frame of the work).

Which made me take second note of the hair like vertical threads growing out of that dividing plane. Those upward reaching threads made me think of an upward expansion of dynamic spherical mass that could comprise the second plate (above TCD), and inversely, a third plate (below TCD) comprising similar spheres embedded within a contorted mass of root like threads.

Conclusion

Overall a solid piece and wonderful foundation for expansion.

7.75/10
