File:Julianne Swartz Sine Body 2017.png

Sculpture installation by Julianne Swartz, Sine Body (blown glass, unglazed porcelain, electronics and sound generated from the objects, dimensions variable, 2017; Installation view, The Museum of Arts and Design, NYC). The image illustrates a key body of work by Julianne Swartz that began in the early 2000s: her sculpture, which has employed commonplace materials, optics, sound and kinetics to create a range of perceptual and emotional effects. In the glass and ceramic "Sine Body" sculptures pictured, Swartz created organic forms that amplified, conducted and emitted a specific tone generated through an electronic feedback process based on its air mass. This body of work and individual work were publicly exhibited through prominent commissions and exhibitions and discussed by critics in major art journals and daily press publications.

The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a key body of work by Julianne Swartz beginning in the early 2000s, when she produced often-minimal sculptural works that employed optics, sound and kinetics to create effects involving perceptual displacement, physical sensation, motion, time and balance. They range from forest-like constructions of fiber-optic cables, PVC pipe, mirrors, magnifiers and periscopes offering refracted and reflected views to delicate studies in visual tension involving magnetism to delicate and stacked assemblages whose movements and precariousness conveyed pathos and human emotion. Because the article is about an artist and her work, the omission of the image would significantly limit a reader's understanding and ability to understand this key body of work, which brought Swartz continuing recognition through major exhibitions and coverage by major critics and publications. Swartz's work of this type and this series is discussed in the article and by critics cited in the article.
