Momentum
@ Craft Victoria
Momentum is a series of ceramic sculptures that explore the principle of moments in physics. The sculptures are designed to be interactive, and the viewer is invited to explore how they can be balanced. This can be a challenging and rewarding experience, as it requires the viewer to think about the forces at work in maintaining balance. It is a reminder that balance is a delicate thing and constantly changing. The sculptures invite the viewer to reflect on the ever-changing nature of balance and consider the forces at work in maintaining it.
