PIG CLUE 3
Find the pig that illustrates the never-ending struggle for balance between work and life, conveying the question, “Does one work to live, or live to work?” When facing the pig, the left side depicts “work” through a collage of phone message and meeting notes. The notes are not your typical notes and are covered in doodles and non-related thoughts. The colors of yellow and white represent the routine, repetitive nature of work. The right side depicts “life” via a vibrant stylized design. The painting is a free-form, random and non-objective visualization of how I interpret life. The pig is designed to inspire viewers to reflect upon this question in their own lives. Bring back the name of pig, the artist, its location and sponsor name on a piece of paper that is attached to the sculpture.
ANSWER: Get the Balance Right, artist - Eric Jonke, location - Sampson/Carnegie, sponsor - Sampson/Carnegie
