Figuratively Speaking... You may have noticed the small, copper-wire figures scattered throughout this Perspectives. They were created by Claudia Mauldin ‘14 in her Honors Art course, as a site specific installation in the courtyard outside of the sculpture studio. The figures scaled the wall of the Ingram Arts Building with varying “movements or gestures.” The figures are clearly visible against the white wall, yet sublime enough to be easily unnoticed by passers by as they scurry down the path. Those who are sitting in the courtyard and will see them. Small children seem to notice them quickly. Upon being discovered, people often bring others to see them. It is both a study in human behavior, and a revelation about the power of the understated in art.
