The Me(n)tal Block by jdillenburger

Background:
The inspiration for this design was born from my inability to conceptualize a suitable sculpture design. I decided to transform my mental block into a “tangible” concept. Made from a rich dark bronze, this sculpture would stand 9 ft tall and have 8ft sides. Each of the four sides include a small slit that passes through the entire block which allows a viewer (at the correct angle) to have an unbroken view through the sculpture.
Purpose:
Born from my own inability to conjure a creative sculpture idea, The Me(n)tal Block represents the struggle involved in forging new art, writing papers, developing scientific procedures, and other academic endeavors. While a mental block can be difficult to navigate around, if one can find the right angle, it is possible to see through their mental block.
