Art 21 Response

I watched Abigail DeVille's video. Two words I feel best describe DeVille's work are empowering and hopeful.
Below are two images I found of DeVille's work and the links to where I found them. Under each image is two elements/principles of art and design.

Color. This piece contains a boat filled with fake arms and legs, which seem to have a certain color scheme. There is blue splattered over various limbs, which helps guide the viewers' eyes across the boat.
Balance. The limbs are all sticking out in different directions, yet an arch-like top can be envisioned around the piece. The art feels balanced due to the angles and placements of each limb.
Lines. The painted lines on the left-bottom side help guide my eyes up through the piece. They lead me around the work and into the darker section that travels back in the top left corner.
Emphasis. All the work seems to be crafted and hand-made, specifically for this display, except the painting. My eyes are brought over to the yellow-ish painting as it takes my attention and seems out of place with the other items shown.
