Asia Del Bonis - Safety Pin Spiral


This artist used repetition of his medium to create a downward spiral. A safety pin has a distinct shape that is nothing like a spiral. The safety pins are similar to a line on a page. When one line is put on a page, it doesn't look like anything special or unique. When many lines are put together to form a shape, something with dimension and volume, that is when art is created. Here the pins transform themselves- almost to the point where the viewer doesn't notice the familiar shape of the pin.
