3D, it's a family thing.

3D works for me because I like making things big. Sculptures attract a lot of attention. When they are outside they can be as big as you like and they are often permanent, like the statue of liberty or the angel of the north. You can walk round sculptures and touch them, if you are allowed to or you are rebel in an art gallery. For people who are not completely obsessed with art, sculpture and statues are easy for them to access and understand. The Yorkshire sculpture park is a good example of this. People go there with their family to see art, but their kids can just climb all over the sculptures and then they take nice pictures of their children for the family album. If they do not like the sculpture they move on. If they were in an art gallery with paintings or photography, they would be bored out of their mind. 3D is just more relatable to the mainstream because they live in a 3D world. If they cannot see the deep and meaningful point of the sculpture they can see it as a chair or a bed. Kids are especially good at this, which is why 3D is a family thing.
