Stuck In 3D Sculpture

Every sculpture is individually drawn, sculpted and signed by the artist. No two pieces are the same. For the most effective and delightful result, suspend the sculpture against the wall with strong single-source lighting above, to create a clear dark shadow-drawing. Alternatively, make it interactive by using the torchlight from a mobile phone and directing it at an angle on the sculpture. When the torch moves, the shadow will move, creating an animated and unique 'shadow-drawing'.

The transparent nature of the chosen materials is therefore an important aspect, together with using light and shadow in creating ambiguity. The nature of consciousness and our reality are aspects of science and spirituality that continually drive my research and provide conceptual substance for the work. I want people to have fun with their perception of being human. Our bodies are limited to existing in three physical dimensions, but what might we look like and what can our bodies do if we were not stuck in three dimensions? Inspired by Plato’s allegory of the cave, and Rudolf Steiner’s theory that we are beings of at least six dimensions I also want to communicate the idea of shifting dimensions. The figures drawn onto the surface of the plastic began life on a flat, two-dimensional plane. By moulding and curving the plastic it acquired a third dimension, contorting the figures and changing their aspect. The line drawing, however, still only exists on the two-dimensional surface and will never inhabit the third dimension. With light, the shadow-drawings that emerge add another dimension to the work, blurring the lines between where the sculpture ends and the shadows begin, much like the ambiguity that currently exists at the boundary between consciousness and brain.
