Although I didn’t emphasize this, yesterday’s glass artist<\/a> was big on form as a means of expression, and the sense of movement she conveys is rather dependent on the forms she chooses. I find this to be true with polymer artist Jana Roberts Benzon<\/a> as well. She creates a sense of flowing, staccato, or ebbing visual movement by building forms that change through the space they occupy in undulating or precise steps<\/p>\n

Jana is well known for her laser cut technique, which can create an enthralling texture as well as a visually active form. Her pendant, Zorro,\u00a0<\/em>shows\u00a0how the laser cut texture is used to create change across the surface of the piece, giving it a lot of energy. The technique also allows her to create a very active form, building the zig-zag through the shifting of slices already needed to create the texture.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t hurt that there is also a progressive change in the dominance of colors from the top to the bottom. Any kind of gradual change will relay movement because that is what movement is perceived as: a series of related changes.<\/p>\n

Enjoy more of Jana’s moving work on both her website<\/a> and her Flickr pages<\/a>.<\/p>\n
