Illusional Blocks


What is the Concept of my work.

My work is about formation and a trick of the mind. Our mind usually makes up things from what it sees before and after, skipping the in between. Now these are a formation of random blocks, but when thrown together make a formation of words created by shadows.

My concept therefore is called Illusional Shadows. Formed by depth.
Now this is not only first perspective surprise but from all sides, by formation of shadows.
Materials used to create - would be a soft formof wood, like balsa. Easy for carving.



I want to also create and image of something that's created by words on the facade of the blocks.

Materials for this would be an imprint of some kind.

Form and Perspective - As perviously noted. The perspective will be from front, and sides, therefore 3 views. Form is shaped by carving, size about 40x40cm

Function: With movement furthur away from blocks you are able to make out the words. To surprise you from more than one perspective. No actual movement of the work is required.

Illusionary Patterns: I'm not quite sure if there are many but from first glance it seems there is just one pattern formed. And in time 1 from the side.

In process I will attempt to actually build an actual model design.
