The Sieve of Erathosthenes
by Ryan
I have often seen Sieve of Erothosthenes, by Mark di Suvero, but I never knew anything about it. I always loved this piece because of its bright illuminating color. This piece also caught my attention because of the large amount of negative space. It is also very interesting how the light falls on the red and makes a large variety of reds. The texture of the sculpture was very smooth and the edges of the sculpture were very clean and crisp. This sculpture also drew my attention to it because of its very large mass. I am not quite sure of its mass but I am sure that it is very large. I think that the movement of your eye starts at the top of the sculpture because there is a circular piece that is a different color than all the rest. This is my favorite piece of sculpture in the Stanford Sculpture Collection. I find every element of this sculpture interesting and easy to look at.
