Small Polycarbonates

 

In this series, identically water-jet-cut Polycarbonate sheets are manipulated into standing or hanging works. Each flat sheet is modified to create shape and visual tension, using stainless steel woven wire and brass, copper, or steel ferules to achieve torque/torsion. The lighting, and thus the correlative shadow component of each piece, is done specifically at installation. In a room, interior lighting creates the shadows and size of the work; the sun controls all of this when they are installed in the landscape. As hardscape the translucent works create shade and shadow and cause condensation/dew for flora.
