Machine with Abandoned Doll - Arthur Ganson
Loading...
Uploaded by dreamingmachines on Nov 26, 2008
Stopping to view the ocean from Highway #1 on the coast of California just south of San Francisco, I found this doll lying in a trash pile by the side of the road. I picked it up and immediately visualized this machine. "As above, so below."- this recognition of the parallel nature of our spirit and body helps define the formal structure of the machine.
The intellect may be strong and the adult tormented as a result of it, but the child within dreams innocently.

This reminds me of a very sad Macy's day balloon. I love how in this piece and 23 scraps of paper the main objects of the sculpture are seem to be almost separated from the rest of the mechanism. But with out the mechanism they are no longer transformed and lose the specialness that they obtain by being connected to the machine.

Thanks for your thoughts. Yes, the separation with rods and the quiet space between the subject of both pieces felt important. In the way way back of my mind I was referencing what feels like heaven and earth with both works.
