Artworks classification

Original Artwork

Original Artwork refers to any work that is considered authentic and not a copy or imitation of the original works of an artist. Original artwork can be any type of painting, sculpture, performance, or other media. There are many types of original media. Mixed media includes oil, acrylic, and watercolor paintings. For workshop paintings that bear evidence of master craftsmanship, this attribution must be further qualified. While they may be less valuable for different reasons, reproductions and copies have had a tremendous impact on our experience. They reach a greater audience than originals and act as a tonic against commodification. Original Artwork could also refer to the first work, which is always preceding all others. It could also refer to a prototype or a model from which other works can be made. Each work bears great similarities to the original.

" It was only part of the dance " is a steel sculpture made by Scott Wilkes by welding thousands of small steel rods together. It stands tall welded to a thin base plate that is balanced so it will not topple over without a decent amount of force. Its polished and sealed so it will not rust but not intended for outside placement for the elements would not do it well. Kept indoors it should keep extremely well. Its almost like a mirror and is not colored . The pics of express it for all the colors it holds in the pics are picked up by its surroundings

To me : This piece has somewhat of a poignant meaning,, Its the part of a relationship or love with someone that ended before its time. Which leaves the dance unfinished, Sometimes a good relationship or love can get pissed on by factors we can't change or avoid or sometimes even see. The image is like a dance partner who isn't complete for the dance isn't ,, that its a faded portion of what it was supposed to be,,,still wonderful in ways, but not finished ,but the core beauty still is intact.
