Radial / ONE - Limited Edition of 12 Photograph

Radial / ONE is a laser cut C type photographic image, printed on Fuji metallic paper, and Diasec mounted between clear and black Perspex. It’s fitted with a hidden subframe, so it appears to float 15mm in front of the wall. .. I’ve been visiting Tate St Ives quite regularly over the years. It’s a great space that’s fairly local to us here in the South West, and there’s a romance in the story of the St Ives school that’s really infectious. Around the same time I was also beginning to realise that if I could use laser cutting technology to cut square and circular pieces like Collider, then I could use it to cut any shape I like. And so in between occasional visits to Barbara Hepworth’s garden and studio, and time spent drawing here in my own studio, I decided to try removing the centre from one of my own pieces, and see how it felt on the wall. It was a revelation really, as the removal of the centre forces the eye to assess the image in a completely new way. Instead of viewing a rectilinear piece as a kind of abstracted landscape or portrait, the removal of the core turns the work into a kind of low relief sculpture for the wall, to be read in the case of Radial / ONE as a sequence of three bold movements with no particular start or end point. The geometry is fully contained within the circle, and abstracts more as it moves away from its centre line, so making a kind of focal ring that bisects the toroid exactly. Cutting the pieces up, in part to emphasise the sculptural nature of the drawings, continues to be a passion that drives the whole project forward.
