I believe that this piece has the great ability to keep your eyes moving. The image contains much movement with the motion of stirring, and the objects that are tangled within the action. I feel that this piece has a high level of investment and that is clear to any viewer. The elements in this piece including: a spoon, a cup and saucer, a tea bag, swirls, and splashes of tea, make the viewer’s eyes stay. The meaning is apparent pretty soon after the viewer first looks at the piece, however, because of the attention to detail the viewer wants to keep looking. I believe I created a true sense of definition all throughout the piece, displayed in several different textures. There is a wonderful quality of scale; the spoon is very large as is the tea bag. An interesting portion of the piece is the tea bag string that is exaggerated in proportion and appears to be rope-like. The perspectives also change throughout the piece particularly with the spoon. The top of the spoon seems to be extremely close to the viewer’s eyes, and then extends backwards into space. The craftsmanship in this piece is also very well done. It is clean with little or no smudges. I think this piece is successful.
