tentative liaisions: three
The following images are from the animation ‘tentative liaisions: three’.
In this series two semi solid forms, either static or moving, interact with forms – which are seen or are ‘out of frame’ – hovering above a reflective surface. If the forms are not directly seen their shadows or refections indicate their presence on the surface below.
Whilst, ideally, all 12 should be seen exhibited contiguously they can be veiwed as a separate images.
The size of the printed images can be up to 1 meter horizontally.

Three enclosures with directional shadows • 1990-2014
These three images are simulations of a wall piece which consists of three enclosures lit from the compas positions of North, East, South and West. Each of the three pieces occupy a space of 1 mtr x 1 mtr. The minimalist nature of the images emphasises the protrusionist illusion of the forms against the vertical wall surface.
The original images originated in 1999 a version was shown in the exhibition ‘design or art’ in Barcelona, Spain that year.
Included below are larger images of one element from each piece.

Visually, I don’t think it needs much explanation, but the interplay of the simple forms (which have evolved from a long relationship of making pre-digital forms of a similar shape) may be helpful. There is a gentle optical illusionistic element which adds to the playfulness of the moving version which isn’t present in the still series.

Not 3D • structural psychidelogy
this is the latest ( ninth) in the “not 3D” print series. It differs from the previous two members by having a less graphically busy, possibly more classically abstract, appearance.

Not 3D • HH would like these: part one
This is the eighth in the quasi 3D series. The HH in the title is a playful reference to Howard Hughes who was also fond of the conical form.

Not 3D • HH would like these: part two
being the second part of a mini series of prints – the legend is similar to part one.
See part one for more details.

Not 3D • flotsam and jetsam
This is the seventh in the “not 3D” series which plays with the technology of 3D imagery without actually making 3D illusions.
Visceral like forms dance over of a furry form rather as flies do in the natural environment although much more slowly.
There is a also a movie related to this project which is now published on this site.
As usual each image is an edition of 25 and will be printed archivally to order.
Sizes up to 800 mm X 450 mm are standard although larger sizes can be made. © 2011
This is a series which I rediscovered recently and augment an earlier series (Aura Astro below).
They were resolved as they are now in March 2017
The size of the printed images can be up to 1 meter horizontally.

Not 3D • AuraAstro
these prints are the sixth part of a project which plays with the current commercial passion for 3D imagery. The originating movie inexplicably disappeared as soon as it was completed (human error) but luckily (for me) these pictorial files had been securely saved.
In retrospect the iconography of the images hint at but don’t literally illustrate the space junk which is surrounding ours and probably other planets.

Not 3D • cone-ical evolution: part 1
This is the first of a mini series using virtual 3D technology ‘incorrectly‘.
One of the influential forces in the making of “c(l)on(e)-ical evolution” series is how – by working digitally – one is able to make the iconography evolve organically whilst leaving previous visible traces of the process as images in their own right. The result of this archivist’s approach is represented here by the four distinct parts which correspond to the visual variety between the sections; they are not necessarily presented in the order they were made.
The title is an amalgamation of conical and clone (in case it appears confusing) and is an attempt to describe, or give access to, the visual content of the images.
By “tweaking” the technology of 3D image making the resultant images hint at, but do not fulfill, the experience of 3D viewing.
