work, using the principles and elements of design. Write a 250-word annotation for your diagram to the
themes of the EXPLORATIONS unit and the readings assigned for this unit. In your annotation, analyze
and include at least one other work of art in the theme you have been assigned, make 3-5 appropriate
citations from the readings, and consider SCALE (artifact, space, building, and place) as you complete
your work.

The image above is a diagram of Jim Hodge’s “Good Morning” of 1994. It is made of silk with a silver chair where the spider web is. In looking at the real artwork the viewer can see that above the web, the silk is tattered and torn, this symbolizes the trials of such a movement when putting two unlike things together. Such a trial is seen in modern architecture when a new structure s placed near an older structure from a different time. The new manipulation of the space can be successful or not just like an artwork.
The rose petals printed on the silk represents the elegance of what could be forbidden. There is a sense of balance with the sparkle in the chain of the web in relation to the matte finish of the silk. It is asymmetrical. More so, the light airy palette makes for a whimsical experience when looking at it. Massey said “Taste in woman may be said to be natural to her sex. She is the mistress of the house in which she orders like a queens”. This artwork has the ability to completely change a space with its presence.
As I was walking through the exhibit, I noticed that each painting, sculpture, digital media, whatever, was full of feeling and emotion. I also read on the panel in my group’s exhibit that “artworks also function as more than just visual images”. This quote led me to think about how a piece of art can change a space completely. For example, Richard Broderson’s “Figure with Bird and Dog” has the potential to make a whole room feel cold, gloomy, and possibly eery. On the contrary, “Adam and Eve” by Mariam Schapiro brings a sense of chaos to a space.
“As a reaction against mainstream Modernism, some interior designers, whether architecturally trained or not, have moved towards fine art and literature as their sources of inspiration.”
