I really enjoyed Dick Ditore’s Quantum series. I have always been intrigues by glass blowers. I have had a friend for many years that uses glass as her medium of art. I have always found it to be beautiful and precise.
I like that Ditore used certain techniques to portray certain emotions in his pieces, as he stated in his artist statement. I liked that the movement in his glass pieces are different in everyone and the movement, I feel, is what portrays the emotion he wants the viewer to feel.
Quantum VI was my favorite one out of all of the pieces I saw. I really enjoyed all of the different levels; it made my eye travel in different directions. I liked the unique spacing and how each circle was neatly placed upon the circle right before it making a fun swirl shape.
The emotions I felt while viewing this piece was a sense of confusion and a precise happiness. Now, I am not sure what emotion Ditore was trying to evoke but for me, the cluster of lines and colors had two completely different meanings for me.
I liked the usage of colors Ditore used. The bright blues, pinks, yellows, turquoise, reds, and oranges evoke emotions in it. I was always told that colors evoke certain meanings, for example, red means passion, yellow means happiness, etc. The fact that there were so many colors in this piece makes me feel those emotions. Then each level that was created by the different circles makes me feel that each day, one can feel all different types of emotions. The fact that the same colors are used in each level, but not one circle looks the same shows me that each day will be different.
