The artwork titled “ciliary #11,” created by Ann Hamilton in 2010, is a sculpture associated with the Post-Minimalism art movement. The artwork displays intricate and disciplined use of material and form, characteristic of Post-Minimalist sensibilities.
The sculpture exemplifies a radial, pleated structure akin to a fan or a circular web. Its construction appears meticulous, with fine, repetitive lines radiating from the core, creating a visual dynamism. At the center of this radial configuration, there is a cluster of folded material, offering a concentrated point of texture and complexity. The color palette is muted, with subtle variations that enhance the textural interplay of shadow and light across the pleated surfaces. This intricate melding of form and texture invites viewers to engage deeply with the nuances of the material, resonating with the ethos of Post-Minimalism, which emphasizes the physical and sensory experience of the artwork.
