The Vanishing Point
This sculpture features a play on perspective. From an angle, the work has a solid, cohesive shape. Viewing the work from either side offers colourful yet different views of the work. However, the work comes into its own when viewed head on, the point at which the sculpture appears to take on the issusion of "vanishing", hence the name. The sculpture aims to capture that magical, ephemeral point where a sculpre that can be so visually rich from one perspective can fade away to nothingness when viewed from another. The sculpture captures an almost star-like quality, vanishing when you try to look directly at it, and yet looking somewhere else reveals many elements working together to paint a picture. The two-tone colour aids the sculptures' vanishing quality; the threshold where two distinct colours meet and cancel each other out.
