Themes:
I noticed I was attracted to joints that were rounder and fit kind of perfectly together. I was attracted to them because joints are supposed to fit securely with the object and make a seamless connection between the two. When things fit nicely like they are intended to, it attracts the eye to the craftsmanship of that object.
Possible Artist Ramifications:
- The weathered texture of the joints could be used to create artwork that resembles aged pieces. This could be interesting if you made a modern object but made it look like it was made longer ago
- Since joints can also refer to the human body, making a body out of metallic tubing would be a cool idea
- By attaching something rough and angular to contrast the smoothness and cylindrical shape of the joining tube, you could make some really awesome contrasts in the work
- An artist I've found that works with tubing and has mastered joining them in a seamless way is TJ Volonis. He intricately designs the copper tubes he uses in magnificent forms and has joined them together in a way that looks natural and perfect
