Martin Purveyor Reflection

            I like this work because it makes you wonder and want to find out more about the piece.  The interesting part about this work is not what it communicates but what it doesn’t.  This makes you want to walk around the piece and explore because it cannot be understood by a single glance.  The simplicity of this work is what makes it really interesting.  All of the pieces are made up of simple shapes that focus on the form and material more than anything.  Some are very organic and look like they could be found in nature while others clearly look manmade.  This work seems like it is made up of scenes from everyday life that have been simplified to reveal more about them.  Some of the work even looks like they could be machines or tools or have a purpose to them while some look purely aesthetic.  The names of the pieces really help in understanding what the artist is trying to express through his work.  Some of the pieces look extremely foreign at first but coupled with the name they start to make sense and relate to the viewer.
