Close Looking | Yinka Shonibare, Girl on Globe 2 (2011)

[MUSIC PLAYING] SPEAKER 1: Imagine walking into the gallery and approaching the sculpture that you see here. Take time to look at it carefully for a moment. Pay close attention to what you observe. Look carefully at the lines, the shapes, the colors, the materials, the textures, and size. Let's take a journey together around the work and look at it from all sides. Observe the front of the sculpture. Take a moment to notice the details. Let's move our view down to the lower portion and look at the bottom of the figure and the globe. Now let's look at the back of the figure, focusing on the dress that she is wearing. What's catching your eye? Next focus on the gesture, specifically on the figure's hands. Now look at the top of the sculpture. What are you noticing? As we move around the globe, what colors, words, and patterns do you see? Let's zoom out one more time and take another look. A final look at the whole sculpture. Is there anything new that is catching your eye? [MUSIC PLAYING]
