Radial / THREE / pearlescent - Limited Edition of 8 Photograph

Radial 3 is a laser cut C type photographic image, printed on Fuji metallic paper, and Diasec mounted between 2 sheets of Plexiglass. It’s then fitted with a hidden subframe, for hanging on the wall, to give the appearance of an unframed, but ultra high gloss, plexiglass artwork, floating 15mm in front of the wall. .. Radial / THREE takes the idea of adding time and motion to a static artwork, by using animation tools to create 24 individual frames from a motion based sequence of images. These frames have then been re composited back into one singular whole. The 24 frames create a kind of ‘circle of life’ radiating out tangentially from their central core, to form a 120cm diameter toroid, that invites the viewer to contemplate the image not as a traditional landscape or portrait work, but as a more sculptural piece, that fully encapsulates it’s own geometry, as the line work curls back in like a breaking wave where it meets the outer edge of the circle. By having no apparent start or end point, it also creates a kind of endless continuum. It’s a piece that breaks with a number of conventions, not least by having a hole laser cut out of it’s centre to enhance the sculptural nature of the digital drawing, but also by condensing a motion based animated sequence of images back into a single final frame.
