ICICLES – crystallization of the rhombus facet Sculpture

An Anamorphic sculpture showing a changing sequence of four geometric forms. In four contrasting colours, bound together in a screen of suspended stainless-steel tubes, these geometric forms reveal themselves to viewers as they walk around. This one work has six decisive and different angles of vision ( they can all be seen in my portfolio ). The four forms condense / crystallize singly when the work is viewed at an angle, and open-out however, as the viewer passes, to merge with the successive form, which in turn gradually condenses. On one side of the screen circle and rhombus contrast and fuse with one another. On the other side, triangle and hexagon. The tubes are of reflective burnished steel, whereas the insides are lined with coloured, bleached and painted, varnish sealed paper, contrasting the softer coloured interior with the hard metal exterior, thus the geometric forms seen in cold burnished steel on the outside become framed by the inner colour of the forms behind them. ( Steel hexagon framed by a scarlet red circle ; steel triangle framed by the blues and greens of rhombus and hexagon ; rhombus backed by the yellows and reds of triangle and circle ; circle itself dominates permitting only glimpses of green and blue from hexagon and rhombus. ) The external surfaces, at moments reflect the colours from within, at others reflect and break-up the colours and light of the environment around. The work suspended in space, on fine wires, slices-up and frames views of the landscape, sometimes it becomes a shimmer in space. This 3-dimensional work is a work of angles of vision and moments, a continual metamorphosis in relation to it’s external environment and the changing conditions of light. When displayed in outdoor exhibitions this work was mounted suspended in a square steel frame 120 x 120 inches. This work may also be suspended in indoor architectural situations. Due to the particular nature and size of this work I am wiling to both project a specific display system and travel to install it.
