Walking through the lower Anderson hallway, of Hartwick College, during the sophomore review, two pieces caught my eye. The first was Amanda Mattson's collective pieces.
The piece I found most conceptually interesting was the wielded egg and sperm that represented life. There were many sperm attempting to get to the core of the egg but were not lucky enough to make it. A solid piece that represents a new perspective on the race of life. I was truly astonishing. Amanda achieved a great perspective on shape and organic movement and her pieces were set in such a way that it created fluid development and personal involvement. The piece reminds the viewer about how life is formed while in society the beautiful process of creating life is distorted by the pornographic view on sex.
Amanda’s presentation of her work was concrete and to the point. The detail and precision of her pieces were well represented. The story behind each one was extraordinary. As a viewer I was enthralled and entertained by the captivating display.
