SELECTED ARTWORKS / SPATIAL IMAGE SCULPTURE

An exploration into concepts of space and the relationships between the thresholds of the 2 and 3 dimensions; the immaterial form; perception; deconstruction; time;
movement including speed and stasis; the body; the appropriation of symbols; and the strategies of power. With influences from Futurism and Cubism to current
digital media art and cinema, t
hese hybrids of two and three dimensions bring together painting, drawing, photography, digital media, and sculpture, to create a
spatial image system. Topographical cross-sections of a subject are painted or drawn onto sheets of transparent film.  The sheets are specifically spaced and hung apart
to reveal the appearance of
three-dimensional forms in a state of suspension. Like linear perspective is to the 2D world; layered perspective allows the possibility of new
representations through this illusionary image space. The multiple image planes together establish a perspective in which the viewer can alter their viewing angle
to change the 'image form' as one walks around the piece. It is a dematerialization of the picture plane through the combining of multiple picture planes.
