A Question of Balance
Members of Pacific Rim Sculptors are encouraged to submit images of their three-dimensional artwork for consideration to be included in the juried exhibition A Question of Balance at the Museum of Sonoma County (MSC) in Santa Rosa, California.
The theme A Question of Balance invites sculptors to submit work that explores the varied and multiple meanings and interpretations of “balance”. Balance can refer to gravity, to mathematics, to accounting, to opposing ideas or components, and so on. Balance is commonly defined as: a state of equilibrium or equipoise; equal distribution of weight or amount, or something used to produce equilibrium.
Whether the interpretation of balance is taken literally, conceptually, or tangentially, artists are encouraged to use their own interpretations in use of materials, techniques, subject matter, or a combination of concepts to address the theme of balance. What does balance mean to you personally or in a larger context?
