Polywiggle is a visually dynamic arrangement
of conical forms adorned with colors and patterns derived
from an Asian Tree Frog. My father would often reminisce
about listening to tree frogs as a child. After a fruitful
day of fishing, the sounds of chirping frogs would sustain
a soft melody, while crack of the campfire kept the beat,
that created a natural lullaby; lulling my father to sleep.
Rather than creating a frog, I decided a multi-colored
tadpole would create a more provocatively dynamic form.
The tadpole allowed me to utilize the movement,
and natural visual rhythm, created by the
arrangement of the conical forms, the linear and gestural
aspects of the spiraling tail, as well as the relationship
between the tadpole and the off kilter column. The tadpole
also allowed me to use the colors and patterns of the tree
frog to enhance the inherent visual aspect of the conical
forms.
