When I explored the Ruth Asawa exhibit I did not take many pictures of the different works. I ended up only focusing on one piece for most of my time there. 
The piece I focused on was Untitled (S.310, Hanging Five-Lobes Continuous Form Within a Form with Spheres in the 2nd, 3rd and Bottom Lobes) c. 1954. The sculpture was made out of copper and brass wire. The sculpture is 64 inches tall.
When I first noticed this piece I saw it in three different sections. Each larger lobe with a smaller sphere looks like a part of the larger piece. There seems to be movement in the piece from the top to the bottom.
At the top of the sculpture is two lobes with the lower one holding a sphere at the bottom of it. The position of the sphere makes it look like it is moving down and pushing on the bottom of the lower lobe.
The middle part of the sculpture definitely looks like it has the most action. There are two forms with the middle lobe. In this part of the sculpture it looks like all parts of it are moving in the same direction at the same speed. 
The last part of the sculpture is the final lobe. The last lobe contains a large single sphere within it. The position of the sphere exactly in the center implies a lack of conflict or motion. It seems like the piece has stopped moving at that location and has settled. 
The overall shape of the artwork implies a motion that is due to gravity. It reminded me a lot of a water droplet. The top of the sculpture looks like water coming out of a faucet, the middle appears like it is falling at a constant speed and the bottom looks like it has already impacted the surface and has settled in the water.
Im not sure if that is anywhere close to what Ruth Asawa wanted audiences to take away from this piece but I found it incredibly interesting because I could see movement in a still sculpture.
