I decided to pick Todd Hoyer’s piece from his Suspended Sphere Series, because I love the simple yet brilliant idea behind it. I have always admired pieces of art that seem to barely balance on something. I live my life with the mentality of having the right amount of balance in everything I do. If we take our life or a certain activity to the extreme and overdo it, we will fall out of balance and so will our enjoyment of life. This is the exact idea I see Todd Hoyer’s piece symbolizing, and that is why I picked it as my favorite.

I like pieces that bring controlled ideas without losing the natural medium.
