I agree Robert...From comments to my Facebook page.<br /><br />I agree Robert. Seeing this it really does not fit the excitement needed. Polish it. Bring life to it.<br /><br />More response from me.<br /><br />When I first heard about this design for the sculpture, I thought the reflective beads would be larger and maybe have the LEDs inside them; like hippie beads. Glowing in bright colors against the rusty backdrop. I realized, after it was finished, that it's covered with a sandy like reflective material; like what's used on highway signs and road striping, I think. Even that can pop out to the eye as highway signs and markings pop out at night along a freeway. Still, somehow it falls short of that. I don't know the intent. Maybe it doesn't have the same material as the highway signs or the LEDs that it reflects are not bright enough? I do like the rust, but the reflectivity of the substance that is supposed to be reflective, that they (sprayed?) on the ball, seems to be lost in the darkness of its rusty background.Theslowlane Robert Ashworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10082164332880198884noreply@blogger.com
