prototype No.4, 2016


Item is on view vGallery.


Transformable Movable Sculpture.  

This piece is very rough and unfinished, but it still makes for an interesting hand. The six parts can be arranged, with magnets to whatever position you desire on the metal canvas. Many different configurations are possible, so it is unique in that one fragment of art becomes many. It should not get tiresome over time. For now, it is mainly being used, as a prototype for study. More info can be found, by visiting the PAST EXHIBITION arch>scul. There is also, an additional shape added in the form of an Icosahedra representing a Guest House.
 
Made from an old metal cabinet originally used to store lawn and garden supplies. There may be some residue on the interior of the pieces, but it was cleaned thoroughly with a power washer. The exterior is dirty white and could easily be painted to your liking if you want although I like it plain. The shapes were cut using net, patterns. W 62" X H 18" and sits 16" from the wall. If you need further dimensions of each portion, please let me know?  It is surrounded by snowflakes in case you were wondering.

The actual size is about the shape of a regular postcard 4" x 6". Made from thin sheet metal.  The colored pieces are painted and held together by small magnets.

prototype No.2, 2016



A simpler version using just tool steel.  The actual scale would be quite large.  Around the size of a 3, story house.  The blocks again can be configured any number of ways to create new space.

prototype No.1, 2015



Shown, a crude animation of the first prototype.  The materials made of oak, cedar, steel, and aluminum.  The model is based, on the idea of the 1+1=3 or more equation.  A theory that, was first introduced to me in a book called Envisioning Information.  In this case, the or more part of the equation is the movable shapes, making what seems to be an endless number of configurations.  This idea was the real inspiration for the posters.

The concept first popped, into my head I believe sometime in 1996 when I first saw Constructivism, El Lissitzky proposed Horizontal Skyscraper 1923–1925 Wolkenbügel, "cloud-irons" from the book Graphic Design: A Concise History, Second Edition (World of Art). 


An acrylic on canvas was made around the same time and wondered then if the parts moved. If you were to look at the original drawing from the architect the building is as one structure.  In this painting, they are two separate buildings.  I believe then this was my way of interpreting the possibilities for motion.


I am not sure its whereabouts, but it was one of my favorites.  Since then other paintings and drawings have been made.  Each different in their, own way.
