After being interested in the shadows that my work was producing I took it upon myself to do some research into artists who actually use shadows as a piece of artwork itself. I came across Tim Noble and Sue Webster who create beautiful shadow figures from what appears to look like a pile of junk. I took inspiration from this to create my own shadow piece.
Although this piece did not go entirely as I planned it too, as I would have liked the wire when not lit to have looked less like a portrait, I am still very pleased with the outcome of the piece. I even do like how the piece looks without the shadow, it reminds me of picasso’s work, although this is not what I intended. The shadow itself is very interesting particularly when you can see it in motion and distort it with the light itself. I plan to exhibit this piece so that the viewers are able to interact with it, to give the viewers torches so they are almost part of the work too.
