The Tuesday Tablescraps return with a MOC that Chro gave me on the last day of BrickFair VA 2014. It's a truly amazing MOC, worthy of the title of "ABS Sculpture." My gratitude for his generosity cannot be overstated.

The blue pins really draw the eye and bring the piece together.  The hole in the fist ending the segmented Technic pieces creates a powerful contrast with the idealistic block shapes of the Knight's Kingdom elements, creating a powerful statement on the balance of solidity and frailty.  While the striped element seems random to the untrained eye, the true artist will recognize it as a recurrence of the ridged motif present in the claw and the Mata and Av-Toran limbs, adjusted for the System offshoot.  The universal nature of need and wants, and the effects of culture on them, emphasized by the altered state of the stripes.  The theme of the cohesiveness of mankind is also taken in another direction, as sculpture traces mankind's journey metaphorically upwards.  The black claw evokes the richness of the soil from whence civilization rose while acknowledging the primal nature of our beginnings.  The dark green begins to add straighter lines at strange angles, as civilization began to develop social structure.  The keetorange represents a fork in development, where society may either embrace strict social structure or reject it- either way an orange color shows a rejection of nature an advancement towards the artificial. As the structure develops so far as to encompass right angles it also drops downwards, as Society caters inadvertently reverts to more basic instincts, even within stricter or more modern social confines.  On the other hand, Society may press upwards, sacrificing most right angles for progression.  A more chaotic environment is more conducive to individuality and innovation, but, like the more socialist and blocky society, ultimately turns red as it fails to hold itself together.  Too the bitter end, though, each individual is still Human, with individual initiative and power, as the fist reminds us as it completes the otherwise non-humanoid work.  The worth of each and every one of us within the masses of society is brilliantly evoked in the work.
