Hold to me, Joana Ricou

For my abstract piece, I chose Connectionism is the Hoola-Hoop of the Eighties by David Plaut. It used lines and circles from glass to display how neurons connect to each other in the human mind to form a grid serving one purpose. By using overlapping lines, Plaut plays with 3 dimensions on the 2 dimensional space quite simply. These lines particularly drew my attention, as it was interesting for me to see how they wove their way through to their respective circles. Additionally, when my eye focused on the center, and I restrained myself from viewing the rest, the picture seemed to wobble; though this may not have been an intention of the artist, it was interesting to me nonetheless.
