The sculpture, Grace, by Joshua Spendlove is captivating because of the intense detail, the 3D image, and the nostalgics. All of the aspects draw you into the piece.
The precise detailing of Grace is so compelling. Everything from the eyebrows and lips to the detail on her dress was sketched with great care. You can see the passion from the artist because of the time and effort put into it. Every little detail brings the ballerina to life. Just looking at her fingertips you can see emotion emanating from them.
I really liked that this piece was three dimensional. I feel it made it more complex. You can't stop with one side, you have to go all the way around. You get to see it from different angles. Even though it's miniaturized it seems more realistic to me.
Looking at this piece made me wish that I was a dancer. I played lots of sports and was kind of a tomboy. Dancers are graceful, girlie, and get to dress up all the time. Every little girl should get to dance. They have a certain glow of confidence radiating all around them. They know what they want and they take it. I felt inspired when I saw Grace.
