Kjell responds to a series of questions regarding this sculpture. | ||
|
1. What do you see when you look at this sculpture? Depends on what angle I see it from. 2. What would you name this sculpture? Angling Triangular Plates 3. Why? What is it about the sculpture that made you give it the name you did? There are angling triangular plates winding downward. |

4. What did the artist name it? Why do you think s/he gave it that name? The artist gave it the name Nautilus. I think he gave it that name because it resembles the plates on the nautilus' back from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. 5. What do you like about the picture you took of the sculpture? The angle of the plates twisting and the shadows. |
