Personal space

The idea of personal space is confronted in this body of work through the same interaction as the other concepts presented. In each piece the work begins innoculously laid out on the ground, harmless and non-invasive. As the cycle of the work progresses the pieces grow and consume more realestate, meanwhile rising to an imposing height, and pressing out against the viewer. At this point, the viewer would make a choice, continue interacting with the work or walking away, leaving the piece to its own devices. Is this interaction all one sided? Are viwewers leaving the sculpture based on an invasion of privacy, cramped space, or threatening imposition? Is the sculpture declaring its own space? in the case of the more mobile sculptures the changes in orientation and position add to the idea of art chasing away its appreciates. The sculptures are almost parasitic in the sense that they require concious interaction to become themselves while taking up more space than can be tolerated.
