Indecision Waterglobe

May 13, 2012 by camryn forrest

This is one of my favorite snowglobes as it was a departure from my usual designs. It features several tiny people who move slightly, but never get anywhere. Two men (nicknamed Norm and Al) are high above the world on a teeter-totter, but only bounce a fraction up and down. Another figure is in a circle that rolls slightly left and right, but always returns to center.

This waterglobe represents that moment where you are stuck between yes and no, off and on, up and down. Indecision can be a pleasant place to visit, but I wouldn’t want to live there.

Point of View snowglobe waterglobe

Point of View is one of my series of waterglobes that are an obvious nod to Escher’s drawings. I have been intrigued by his drawings, which feature impossible angles and people walking on stairways at different planes. While Escher’s imaginary world is not possible due to gravity, in my sculptures, I realized that gravity is not the law.

By turning “Point of View” from side to side and upside-down, one can see the various viewpoints of the tiny figures walking on the stairs.
