“…his works have evolved out of research in Neuroscience where he molds time, space, movement, expression and perception.”

This work demonstrates Time/Motion as an element of design in that we can witness the transition of the face turning while captured in a single moment. 

It demonstrates Emphasis as a principle of design in that the blurred, turning face is the dominant feature of the bust, and draws the viewer’s eye to that area of the sculpture.

We chose this work because it captures a moment of transition in time. We love the effect that Ferrarani has achieved with the marble, the slow, fluid transition from one moment in time to the next. You’re making a transition from one choice to another. While other pieces in the show may illustrate the collection of moments in time, this sculpture shows the actual moment, spread over milliseconds and captured for you to reflect upon.
