What household object does this artwork resemble?
It resembles an old traditional carpet.
What materials did the artist use to make this artwork? Where do you think the artist got the materials from?
The materials used are car bearings,wheels and metal. The artist could have gotten this from industrialized areas or a shop that sell spare car parts.
Why do you think the artist chose to use these particular materials to create this artwork?
The materials used are car bearings,wheels and metal which are all man made materials. They are also vital for the building of buildings and is heavily important in building machinery. As these materials are vital for technology and machinery, i think that the artist is trying to use that to represent modernization. These dull materials are neatly arranged to form a carpet. I feel that the carpet represents tradition as the carpets has a rich history.
What is the artist trying to show?
I feel that the artist is trying to show viewers that tradition is dying. It had lost its appeal. People thinks that freedom is everything and they do not want to be tied down by traditions( restrictions). People wants freedom and they see traditions as an obstruction to newer and innovative ideas.
-Losing traditions
-There will be a conflict between the old and the new.
