SILVER is the final generational realization of five sculptures BEADS, STACKED CROSSES, BLACK OBJECT, FIGURE and PYRAMIDS at maquette scale. They are fully representational of the tolerances in fabrication and finish which define these objects once realized at full scale. As space folds endlessly across and within points of planar intersection the objects reflect beyond the depth of the maquettes’ surface and physical volume, fracturing optic perception and ones own familiarity and visual understanding of constructed structure. The eternal monochrome of the maquettes mirror non-specificity in ornamentation and activate their bridging of walls, floors, and mid-space. They endeavour to force still contemplation of an infinite origin through geometry’s duplicitous nature.
