Locating the point in space |
||||||||||||||||
Current ideas in cosmology and theoretical physics have raised the possibility of thinking about the dimensionality of space in different ways. While sculpture may be an artistic expression in 3 dimensions, the possibility of additional spatial dimensions offers an enticing vocabulary for artistic exploration. As the language evolves it helps to ignore certain cumbersome yet comfortable notions. By eliminating the viewer from the equation, I have freed myself from the limitations of scale and Newtonian physics and have gained some insight into higher spatial dimensions, concepts such as worldline and the complexity of simultaneity. While the actual works may be invisible, the traces, concept sketches, calculations and moments present themselves to me in a very real way as a kind of drawing process. |
