This piece was inspired by a concept of relief sculptures that I examined. When coming up with an idea for a relief sculpture, I took into consideration that my task was to take the image of a 3-dimensional object and describe it by confining it to a somewhat 2-dimensional plane with limited depth. Instead of creating a 2D image with a minimal 3rd dimension, I toyed with the idea of having sections of proportionate objects projecting slightly from the surface of the relief, much like a large stone protruding from a still pond. I realized that I could create a sculpture where not all of the subject was represented. Rather, it would be understood that, although the full figure was not present, the remainder of the figure is hidden beneath the surface. My first thoughts were to have that surface be water, but wanting my sculpture to have more contextual meaning, decided there should be a valid reason for the half-immersed effect I planned to create. Rather than water, I used quicksand, and had a man sinking into it.

we were instructed as a class to create relief sculptures out of cardboard. while my colleauges constructed lions and soccer balls, I decided to take a more clever approach and effectively used a piece of cardboard to depict another piece of cardboard. I call this piece: "Irony"
Fascinating 3D-Printed Fibonacci Zoetrope Sculpturesby Christopher Jobson on January 14, 2015 These 3d-printed zoetrope sculptures were designed by John Edmark, and they only animate when filmed under a strobe light or with the help of a camera with an extremely short shutter speed. He shares about the project: These are 3-D printed sculptures designed to animate when spun under a strobe light. The placement of the appendages is determined by the same method nature uses in pinecones and sunflowers. The rotation speed is synchronized to the strobe so that one flash occurs every time the sculpture turns 137.5º—the golden angle. If you count the number of spirals on any of these sculptures you will find that they are always Fibonacci numbers. |
