Public Art "Timeline Theory Reflections"

"Timeline Theory Reflections" began with a conversation with an old friend about how our lives might be different if past decisions had been different. Perhaps our decisions create a path that can be traced. Perhaps those paths change with every decision. I turned those ideas into a plant-like sculpture. Paths, or timelines weave in and out. Some paths end up as dead ends, others join back into the main road. Perhaps the paths we didn't take continue without us.

There is always implied motion. Life goes on. The stainless steel reflects the other paths as the decisions we make reflect on other decisions. The texture represents the texture of life. Sometimes it's smooth and shiny and sometimes a bumpy road. The stainless also reflects parts of the environment including the red shirt the viewer is wearing. Just as our lives reflect the world around us.
