    Three states

    This semester I follow a sculpture class taught by Helen Mirra at Harvard University, VES.

    I am a big fan of light, from perceptive to illusory, such as in the work of James Turell. For my second assignment I integrated the playful intervention of light within my sculpture. It also integrates the three numbers that define my volume as stated in the assignment.

    scenario





    I calculated my volume to determine the number of boxes and shadows.



    I installed light boxes made out of brown paper in a cubic room. I controlled the direction of the light sources to build consistent shadows around the boxes and bring the light in and out of the boxes.

    Out of the three boxes, the third box moves to create different cubic light patterns on the walls, e.g. from three to two patterns.



    Material: brown paper, wooden sticks, strings.

    In volume, light and sculpture

    Screenshots from the video

    In this sculpture the dysmorphic body is reappropriated to create an outside of the body and therefore exemplify its disproportion.


    Screenshots from the video

    For this video, I arranged lights and shadows to create a positive out of a negative impression that I carved in the mold. I reappropriate the dysmorphic body and through the camera I confuse the eye of the viewer and create the illusion of a body being carved. Finally, I end the video by using a string to present the illusion trick to the viewer, the string is a link between the inside and the outside.

    In my sculpture work, I combine the material representation of a souvenir and its effect over time. I print on plaster molds a series of clothing on life-sized frames. The pieces of clothing carved in the plaster come from people I care for. Their prints represent their passage in my life at a point, and the mold essentially keeps the shape and the textural significance of the clothing.
