Light Sculpture

Michelangelo freed figures locked inside a block of marble, Rembrandt loved the light, Van Gogh went crazy with colour and movement, Picasso created new shapes, Andy Warhol created fashion and celebrity, and he liked cans. Bacon liked meat, and Hockney teaches us that art is how you see the world around you. I see beautiful compositions of colour and shape in flattened roadkill drink cans and bottle tops. Piece of flattened roadkill drink can stitched to a frame, both painted with acrylic, in front of fabric with my Tor Ammo signature. On the rear of this hybrid are two labels, each with my other signature, my left thumb print, an anti forgery stamp, date and title. This hybrid sculpture/painting/collage can stand on a surface, or hang on a wall. Standing on a surface with a light source behind it, the light shows shapes that are cut out of the carton backing behind the fabric. The measurements include the frame, which is an integral part of the hybrid.
