Also presented as a projection of a fairly large scale.
I took a small section of the "Uncomfortable" sculpture to make this image.
I like a sense of both stillness and energy/activity in an image. The dark borders accentuate the light, and along with the presentation as a projection, this would strengthen the idea of a moving image which is now still. The scratched surface of the metal is accentuated, suggestion erosion. This is very much a creation image; my idea of the biblical notion of creation, but also alluding to the creation of the sculpture it is sourced from. The fire, the process of annealing the copper; the sparks and the colours of the flame when heating the metal; all these things.
The image is from the sculpture "Articulation". The translation from sculptural form to print interests me. Its hard to see on this size image, but a small bird stands on the cat's head. Motion and stillness combined. Form and flatness.
This is based on some scrunched up paper. It has some colour fringing which I find attractive. It is something that in an ordinary photograph is very annoying, but in this case it is just what I want. It's related to one of my poems and also visually to "Catch".
