    Downtown Fremont Public Art Program (Temporary Installation) – Metamorphosis Downloaded by Alina Kwak Thursday, December 15th 2016, 2:27pm Call ID: 990676 Artist ID: 7754 Status: Received Helle scharlingtodd Contact Partner Contact via Email [email protected] Phone Cell Web Site glassandmosaics.com Mailing Address . Custom Answers 2) Statement Regarding ThemeArtist must provide a written statement (up to 150 words) as part of their submittal explaining how their sculpture addresses and illustrates the theme.&nbsp;&nbsp; Art is like music, it stimulates the mind and the senses. With this in mind I build my pieces with emphasis on space, form, color, line, rhythm, and content. Artists are image makers and like the world's antennas, they feel, think and express reality. Momentarily I focus on "defining our spaces", like building a new society, using color, form and line as the building blocks. In addition to my public art projects I have developed a series of "color molecule" sculptures. The sculptures represent an homage to the smallest building block of life, the molecules. The theme is called "metamorphosis" which means change, and I see my work fitiing to the theme, as we all have metamorphed from molecules to a human being, so honoring the smallest entity in us seems allright. The work has semi circular motions, which gives a light feeling. The piece is 14' x 6;' x 6'. It is powder coated, the main color being turquise with colored glass inserted in the molecules.
