TETHERED CLOUD I (2019) Polyurethane foam, resin and fibreglass, 150 X 119 X 66cm
The ‘Tethered Cloud’ series forms part of a project experimenting with the way sculptures are shaped by their environment. The work is a response to an archive of photography documenting light projections. It attempts to create permanent artworks from temporary installations. A 3D scan was created from a maquette after which a rotary machine carved the bulk of the form in polyurethane foam; the sculpture was then finished by hand. A resin and fiberglass blend were applied to create a smooth finish.
