| My reaction to Luna Moth Walk I by Charles Ginnever was, Wow! How can a steel sculpture with so many geometric shapes seem so dramatic? How can its simple shapes make it so graceful? After taking a long look, I realized that the unique position of Luna Moth I makes it look like it is about to jump from the ground and end up all the way on the moon. I wondered what kind of a sculptor could make this image of jumping to the moon so dynamic that even a seventh grade student could recognize it. Charles Ginnever could. I noticed that it appears to have a lot of mass on the outside, but then on the inside it is hollow. Line and lighting also play a big role in the Luna Moth. It seems from a distance that the sculpture is a sketch done on a pad of paper, and the light makes a shadow that makes it look like the sketch has been shaded in by the same pencil it was sketched with. The way the sculpture is zig zagging it seems to have lots of springiness and looks ready to jump. The texture is a partially rough one, feeling like very fine sandpaper. Despite its simplicity it is a truly unforgettable sculpture. | |||
