This piece is called "Time's Dilemma," by Jack Whitten. When I first saw this piece, it reminded me of the subway. I thought the way Whitten placed and colored the tiles and larger stone-looking pieces made the piece really dynamic. The placement of aspects in this piece are really aesthetically pleasing. As I read more about this piece I realized that these tiles were made of acrylic paint and the "stone-like" pieces were meant to mimic pieces of a shipwreck. That made me see the piece like an ocean with pieces floating in it. The black upper portion turns in to a dark night sky when I think of the piece like this. I think it's so cool that Whitten made a piece that can look like so many things at once.
