Moment of Energy

In this series, the moment of energy is the bridge between inertia and momentum. If you use a “moment of force” to get things moving in a straight line, then that force results in linear acceleration. However, if you use a “moment of torque” to fire things up, you start twisting things around an axis – angular acceleration (rotation). The transition of static to dynamic is a subject long of great interest to the artist, Cobie Russell. Here she utilizes line, form, and color to share her vision of this moment of transition in distinctive visual terms.
